Media notes
Video of an adult bird hunting fish by running along the water's edge with its bill open and partially submerged. I saw it successfully catch a fish once. Interestingly, this bird appears to have a wing deformity, with both wings crisscrossed at the back more than usual. Perhaps it lacks the ability to fly (or has difficulty flying) and has had to resort to this alternate method of feeding.
