When I first started shooting birds, I always marveled at how all birds instinctively know they have to have their prey go down head first - fish, winged critters, snakes, if it moved, it went in head first which in many instances such as this makes for a great visual story in itself as to how they make the flip, catch and swallow...great sequence captured here.
