Bambi, you'd be absolutely amazed at the size of fish some of these birds can eat!! their necks and gullets are extremely elastic, and once they get the fish positioned head-first, it's usually gone in about 3 seconds... unlike osprey or eagles, which pick their supper apart into bites, mergansers, cormorants, herons and grebes swallow their prey whole. it's really amazing to see them swallow a fish almost half as big as they are...
