Description
I had walked down all the steps to the bottom of the spillway to get a shot of a Snowy Egret. The Egret flew away but in came this Great Blue Heron and soon locked on to something it saw in the water. Next it made the big jabbing move and I was surprised at how long its head stayed underwater until it finally came up with this huge Carp! It brought it to the shoreline and dropped and stabbed with its beak a number of times. When fish finally stopped flopping, the Heron picked it up and headed north to some scrub vegetation and out of my sight. Must be feeding a family!!!

Great capture of this master fisherman capturing lunch and probably dinner for a whole family of Egrets!
