I was lucky to catch this guy or gal hunting Sunday morning. It caught one big bullfrog tadpole.

Tremendous shot, why didn't post it directly? You can put the url into the picture icon from the edit menu.

Holy smoke! That's a GIANT tadpole and great job capturing the moment.
It's like a super-sized Jumbo BIG Mac for Green Heron.:D

That's a great shot, what a good timing shot of the tadpole meal.

Man that tadpole is big enough for US to eat, much less that bird. I love the lighting in this shot!
