Well not quite as dramatic as Bald Eagle's GBH grabbing its fish in the air, this Snowy Egret did catch a pipefish in the eel grass.:confused:

Nice shots. Love the pose of the 2nd one. There seems to be some noise in the BG though?

Thanks for the comments, don't think that pipefish have much protein, think the egret will be still hungry.

Yes, the concentration on that birds face is amazing. Also the water is very inviting to the eye. Keep wanting to go back and look at it.

Nice captures Dennis especially in bright sunlight. The first shot seems to be a little "hot" in a couple of areas. What expsure were you using for the first shot? Were your using any fill flash?
