I was at Charleston City Lake in Charleston, Arkansas when I photographed this Pied-billed Grebe Holding A Shad By Its Tail.
I have been seeing three Pied-billed Grebes feeding near the dam for the past several months. When I photographed this one a couple of days ago, it was alone.
I photographed it catching two of these large Shad and eating them before going back to the middle of the lake. This is also the same Grebe I posted a photo of yesterday with the reflection (Pied-billed Grebe and Reflection).
