Ardea Herodias

This Great Blue Heron was from Costa Rica back in October. It was a quick grab shot as we were on a boat ride as we were heading back to the launch. When we took off the bird got spooked and offered a great if not brief chance to get a look at its prey. I believe it is a Plecostomus (please let me know if I am incorrect about this).
