Post your Birds "Hunting, Stalking, Eating" shots here....

Ouch, now that's GOTTA Hurt!

Fabulous shot!

Thanks, Jake! This shot was taken on the second consecutive day of me watching this Great Blue hunt bullfrogs in a local wetland. I've got a more painful shot from day one but distance was greater so the IQ is not as good. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Same Great Blue a day earlier. Lower mandible right down the throat. This bird was a bullfrog assassin!

Reddish Egret demonstrating its unique stalking style.

peregrine picked this whimbrel out of the water, and then brought it to the beach, i think it's a whimbrel at least...i don't know shorebirds

Levina! Haven't seen you around here in a while; great to see you!

Love the idea of this thread, I have a few, less common birds to have these shots with:

1. Least Sandpiper

Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk with what's left of a Glass Lizard.

Awesome contributions, folks! It wouldn't be fair to single any individual shot out.

Great stuff! Keep'm coming.

Wasp larvae. It's what's for dinner

Nice action shots.

I didn't know we had puffer fish in the USA.

This was taken on the Gulf on Florida's west coast. The egret tried and tried to eat that puffer but it seemed to me that it couldn't get it down. If eventually flew off so I didn't get to see if it actually ate it but it struggled with it for a while.
