Because we can, Joe!!!

Our friend Joe Senzatimore was wondering how these chicks can swallow the fish and here's the answer: Because they can :) Not sure they can seat for a while after a meal, and I see them getting stuck on the last gulp very often. But nature has its ways and here they are!

Model: Canon EOS 7D
Lens (mm): 400

Wow, lovely action shot Fabs!! I love the BG, the chick, and the perfect exposure. I wish for a little bit higher angle but suspect that you went this low to avoid distracting objects in the BG.

Well Done!!

[Joe Senzatimore]

Yes it is always a sight to see. Nice catch ,for both you and the chick.:p:p:p

You guys are soooo lucky to be down there with all the "chick action". I'm always amazed that the adults can swallow large fish.....here you do such a great job of reminding us that the little ones have the same problem. Love the beautiful green BG and great that you got the side view of all the action. Well done.

Wow! no words, just great!

Fabs,
You DID IT again!!! Excellent exposure, sharpness and "action"...
Best,

Hi Fabs:
The picture of this chick could establish a new Guiness record! It's like to eat a whole salmon without using a knife in 10 seconds. Technically I have nothing to ad, simply perfect.

Wow that is a pretty young one and looks to me like he is doing a fine job. Lovely low angle Fab and the fish takes it to another level. :)

Hi Fabs, that looks like its going down ok. Open wide, head up, and down it will go. Great low perspective, and stands out well against the BG.

I know you make them day after day, but this is a really special shot. The composition is wonderful and the action is so eye-catching. Nice one.
