Don Neumann sends this video of two Mute Swans eating fish! I have a good book on the subject of bird diets which says MUSW eats 95% vegetation, some insects, and some small invertebrates. Most Internet sources say similar things. This video proves them wrong. I did find the Wikipedia article on "swan" (not their article on "Mute Swan") says, "Although most birds generally do not have teeth, swans are known to be an exception to this, having small jagged 'teeth' as part of their beaks used for catching and eating fish."
I was unable to do that Saturday with Don's "Eagle Videos and a Killdeer" posted below. So in that post you must click the hypertext and it will send you to YouTube to watch the two videos. If you haven't done that already, do that NOW! Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Go down there and click those videos; you'll be glad you did!
Disclaimer: Don has discovered that this video does not play on his iPad and I've confirmed it does not play on my iPod either. Please let us know if you are unsuccessful watching the swans on any other piece of hardware. Thanks!

it doesn't even show up on an android (samsung galaxy Tablet/Galaxy 111 phone) just a blank area between the f1rst and second paragraphs. I even downloaded 2 diff. video apps, one that covered the gamut, and one for MP4's which is probably what your Nikon is shooting? also, isn't there any way to "full screen" it on a desktop? I've got a 28" monitor, and it's pretty small,(approx.3x3)so I can imagine how small it must be on a notebook. I think, in the end, you'd be better off shooting it off to Youtube, and supplying a link to it. Then you could full screen it, and watch it in the video's max. resolution. But hey, us Sony Guys are all about quality!! ;) he,he,he.
