Black Crowned Night Heron

I came upon this Heron with a catfish in it's mouth.  As with the Great Blue Heron, the Black Crowned Night Heron likes to take it's time with the fish before swallowing it.  It moves it in it's beak several times and dips it into the water to no doubt make the swallowing a lot easier.  This is a sequence of shots taken showing it swallowing and then shaking itself and fluffing it's feathers which I had not seen before:
