I commend both your bravery and your choice of cabins!

Thanks for the comments. Not being much of a fish guy I can’t say for sure what kind of fish this was, but although my video was not very long, the bird was working on getting its meal down for a few minutes before I started filming. As for escape, I would say once it’s down that muscular neck it’s lights out.

Oh interesting! It looked like a quite a sizable fish, the Loon have been hungry! Still, it seems difficult to me that the bird can fully deal with this thing! I have never witnessed an event like this before. The loon's expandable neck did seem to take the thing in quite quickly! I feel somewhat perplexed over how it actually happens, wouldn't the fish stand a chance of turning around or damaging (that large tail, wriggling, biting, etc.) the bird's stomach/throat if eaten in that condition?! It’s hard for me to imagine that the potential prey (wouldn't it also go into a desperate "survival mode" once it realized that it hit the stomach?) could be kept down. I don't have much knowledge about it and am mostly curious, I appreciate any feedback/explanation. Sorry for all of the questions, have a good week ;)
