I photographed this Great Blue Heron walking to shore with a large fish. I think the fish is a Freshwater Drum. It made it to shore where it swallowed this large fish as you can see in the second photo.


I was in the parking lot photographing this Heron with my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
