Lunch

Savannah,TN

I spent some time on the Tennessee River this afternoon. A pair of Great Blue Herons was there, and I heard the tell-tale squawk, and saw this one fly by, obviously pleased with his lunch.

1/1000s f/10.0 at 420.0mm iso500 full exif

Well he is swallowing that big fish as he flies... you can tell by the enlarged size of the throat.. nice details... great capture.

Great Work Michael! I see a lot of GBH and Great
Egrets,but don't have the equipment or patience
to capture them.

I'll be on the next flight, Michael! :) Wonderful action and timing.

Thanks, Bob.
I have a shot one second later, swallowing, and one a second after that which shows no evidence of a fish..

A once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity and you nailed it. Awesome. I think Terry is going to head out to the swamps again after he sees this. :-)
