I actually did witness him swallowing the fish, Jack. He came up on the land, but there was a Great Blue Heron and some plants between him and me that prevented a good photo, and there was no room to maneuver to a better photographing spot. I was afraid the Great Blue was going to steal the fish. He certainly was large enough to do so, and he was definitely considering it. It took the Cormorant several tries to swallow the fish but he did it.
