Anhinga vs. sunfish — and for a while, I wasn't sure who was winning!

I photographed this Anhinga working to maneuver a surprisingly large sunfish into position for breakfast. It took several attempts, making for a wonderful opportunity to capture natural feeding behavior.

Photographed in Florida with my Canon #EOS R5 Mark II and #800mm F5.6 L ISAn Ambitious Breakfast

Great shot. Thanks for sharing. I assume the Anhinga was ultimately successful?

Thank you so much for your feedback. Honestly, after 30 minutes, she took a break, and I moved on.
