    Great Blue Heron having an issue with lunch. This went on for at least 15 minutes, I had to leave. I believe the snake was dead, or at least not struggling, and the GBH could not untie the knot. Hope it worked out well (for the heron at least).

    From Nisqually National Wildlife Reserve.

    Wonder why my camera model does not show up here? The other settings do. Anyway, Z7.

    That's funny. It's amazing what they'll eat. Or try to.

    Fascinating shots!!! I hope the GBH either finally got his knotty lunch problem resolved and enjoyed his meal or if he gave up, that he found another equally tasty lunch somewhere else!!

    Went by that area a little later. No sign of the heron, which is good.

    Awesome moment to photograph. I don't know what I'd do if every time I bit into a slice of pizza, I got slapped in the face.
