Shaking the Prey

[Roger Bailey]

I am always fascinated by Nature and adaptations for survival. This White Ibis had his eyes closed, while shaking the Crawfish to kill it, as a protection. I do not think I have many bird photographs with their eyes closed.

Oh wow! It's amazing how smart some of these animals are. Good one Roger!
