I was driving through the parking lot heading to the fishing pier and I saw this guy over by a new rain puddle. He’s the rare great egret/great blue heron hybrid that’s been hanging out at the park for a while now. I’ve only ever seen him at the fishing pier. I’m glad I stopped and got out of the car since I saw the below when I did.
A great blue heron had a snack. He kept flipping it over, dropped it a few times and finally swallowed it quickly. I know the bird’s gotta eat but I felt bad for the frog.
Other birds kept cruising by hoping they could try to steal it. Another great blue heron started getting too close so he gulped it down.
Great captures!
What luck to be able to see this snack time! Great photos.
