Taking a Closer Look

A Great Egret searches for prey along the bank of the San Elijo Lagoon. While fish make up most of the Egret's diet, I have also seen them eat lizards and mice. Basically anything within reach of its long neck is fair game.

They seem to be expert hunters. He is wonderfully framed by the tall grass. A very artistic capture. V

one can feel the tension of the moment...a well articulated scene, with a hint of a bullfrog observing the hunter's decisive moves..
