From the Heron Viewing station north of Danville, Illinois...I had stood and watched this Great Blue Heron, and had walked on, but Roger called me back to see this.
I snapped a few...
but managed to miss the exact moment he ate the fish, but did capture this as it swallowed the fish.
I just have to post a couple more...

I'D-Rather-B-Birding....hopefully nothing will happen this time and I will get to visit a few new people. All photos were taken with my new little Canon SX700HS.
Wonderful pictures! I love seeing these beautiful birds.
