Will I look fat if I eat this whole fish?
Errrr, no, but, but you might look a little weird if you swallow it whole.
On second thought, you are looking a tad chunky……
and weird!
It’s a gull eat fish world out here in Cour d’Alene!
We are road tripping again, and our next stop is Glacier National Park. I haven’t been able to read your blogs as much as I would like to since we are traveling, but cheers to you from the happy, albeit quite chubby, gull from Coeur d’Alene!

What a piggy! That fish was probably having the nicest little swim them bam! Lunch!
That’s life, one your minute swimming, and the next your lunch!
Great capture!
Happy you enjoyed!

Very good Pictures 😃
Vielen dank!
Wow, what a greedy gus!
Or possibly, Gustine! 😉
Good point. Birds are pretty mysterious.
Did you take any pics of the area around Coeur d’ Alene, Cuz? Always liked that area, even the name sounds great !! 🙂
Yes, I did and have more to post after I get home. Lovely area~
What fantastic photos!!!!!
Awwwww, most appreciated!
Excellent captures, Cindy!
Very pleased you enjoyed Dina and cheers to you~
We were up there this summer! Beautiful. By chance did you get to the next lake up the road in Sandpoint, Idaho? Beautiful countryside.
I sadly didn’t. We were only there two days so I know we missed a lot~
I know the feeling. Other than driving by the lake at Coeur d’Alene we didn’t see anything of the city as we were headed north. So many beautiful places so little time…
Exactly!!!
WOW! I guess that’s what I looked like yesterday as I ate that mega cheese curd bacon burger! LOL
Unfortunately, I can fully relate! 😉
Excellent series here! I have never witnessed such an event before. That looks like a big fish formidable fish staring down its captors throat here! So in the end the bird was really able to win the struggle and gulp down the whole thing entirely okay?? If eaten, does the unlucky/desperate fish get swallowed wriggling all the way as well?!
Actually, the fish is dead before it gets swallowed. I have another series of a crane with a huge catfish in Africa that was the same. The bird kills the fish first so the fish goes completely limp and then swallows it. I still do not understand how this gull managed to swallow this fish whole. I hesitate to get super graphic but I suspect he may have swallowed it and flown off somewhere private where another gull couldn’t steal his prize, reguritated the fish, tore it up, and ate it. And I do agree with you, poor fish!
very interesting 🙂
One hungry, hungry bird!
yes it was 😀
