Betty, congrats on your strong showing in the Anhinga and Cormorant contest sponsored by Wild Birds Of The World - A Nature Photography Group. This was my favorite image in the contest.

Amazing capture! Still, that looks like a pretty big/spiky fish (do you know what kind?) caught and staring down its captor's throat here! So does the bird really manage to win the battle and gulp that whole thing okay? Does the fish put up a good fight, if eaten does the unlucky prey get swallowed wriggling all the way down as well?!

It is a Sculpin. The cormorant caught it by the tail. tossed it into the air, caught it head first and then began swallowing it. The fish didn't put up much of a fight at all.
