Professional Hunter

Today's photo is an image of the master hunter, the Great Blue Heron, with its prey, a bullfrog, at Delta Ponds. I could see that the heron was quite involved with its task along the edge if a pond. Patience has its rewards. I had to wait on the ready for a while before anything happened. But then so did the heron!
