Great Blue Heron with Amphiuma shot at Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands in Viera Florida.

Must be a pain when you have to pry lunch off your face! Nice shot!

From Green Cay Wetlands yesterday morning. There is a series of 6 on my flickr page, here are three. It took this guy several tries to get this fish down, but he did it. I think it is a black acara, an invasive cichlid species (I think all the fish in Florida are invasive species) from SA. I watched an American bittern eat a snake but had just put my camera in the car (big mistake)

Also, the local tricolored herons are in their breeding colors and finery
