A Good Day!

Like most animals and birds, the Green Heron's existence depends on its daily search for food. This heron had a good day at Delta Ponds! It caught a large fish and, for a relatively small bird, was able to swallow it without any trouble. I am not sure what kind of fish it is, but would guess it is a Carp. The heron still took time to fluff its feathers to dry them after its plunge into the water.

Wow, superb capture, Vern. I took a picture of a bird at the Kenilworth gardens and thought it might be a green heron (not that I know anything about birds), but it doesn't look anything as spectacular as this. V.
