Predator and Prey

Martin Luther King Shoreline, Oakland, CA

This Great Egret was having much success catching Smelt in the shallows. It's the season of the annual Smelt run into San Francisco Bay. More rightly, they are Silverfish.
Actually it dropped this one, though probably fatally wounded nonetheless.
