The Bottomless Pit... - a photo on Flickriver

            .
Not the swamp he was in, the bird, he ate more than his fair share. I can't tell you how many frogs and tadpoles these things would eat, and eat them all day long!

Shot in very dim early morning light, I was also trying to get him grabbing a frog, hence the really fast shutter-speed.
