Pied-billed Grebe With Fish
I photographed this Pied-billed Grebe with Fish in an area known as Miners Cove. This is at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. The Pied-billed Grebe was swimming around in the cove with the fish. Most of the time they will swallow what they catch as soon as they surface.

I had my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
