MOTIF: Jun 4 - 10: "SWALLOWING BIRD"

[Romy Ocon]

This week's motif is "SWALLOWING BIRD" - please post your photos here of "birds in the process of swallowing something."

Thanks to Tina M. for suggesting this week's motif.

Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pics don't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.

Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
