If they make enough noise and are in the right place at the right time, a healthy meal is delivered on the fly without even a touchdown !

I watched in amazement as this BCNH caught this big fish (I think called a "Sunny"), held it for a minute or so until it stopped moving & swallowed it in 1 gulp.

Not the best picture, but definitely the coolest bird I've seen in a while. And a lifer!

I was in Lansing for a few days for a wedding. Only got to bird one morning and when I saw there were still snowys in the area I knew I had to take my aunt to find one. The rails were a nice bonus.
