Blue Heron’s Catch
At first I thought the Great Blue Heron had just caught a freshly hatched baby alligator. I didn’t dare to creep any closer, not knowing where the Mama Alligator was. My best judgement was to focus and shoot, focus and shoot about 6 times after I observed the heron snatch his prey with silent quickness.
Great Blue Heron with his catch. What is it?
I took this series of photographs while the heron juggled the prey ( fish perhaps?) in its beak, getting ready to swallow it.
The big gulp looked to me like a big mistake.Finished. So, that’s how it works.
