Anhinga and a Catfish

Anhinga
On December 23rd, I was at Viera Wetlands, and I saw an Anhinga capture a catfish.  I found it interesting how it prepared the fish for eating.  After piercing the fish with its bill, it scraped both sides of the head of the fish against the rock to remove the barbels.  He worked on the fish for several minutes, and unfortunately, I had to leave before he consumed it.
