Blue Heron at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, St. Marks, Florida.
I spotted this bird in a lagoon as I was leaving the refuge. I got out of the car and watched him go around a clump of grass. I focused on his tail. I heard some splashing and he turned around with this bass skewered on his bill. It is amazing to watch these birds maneuver the fish off their bill, into their mouth head first, and swallowed all in a matter of seconds.
