AVIAN PISCAVORES CAUGHT IN THE ACT…
There’s something enjoyable about watching a wild creature having a good meal, even if the meal consists of an item that, all things considered, you personally would prefer not to eat. While I am temporarily parted from my computer for a few days, I am able to publish blog posts from my phone. I could write one too, but that’s a bothersome and fiddly process, best avoided. So I thought you might enjoy a gallery of gorgeous birds doing what they like to do best – eat fish. Many thanks as ever to Phil Lanoue and Danny Sauvageau for use permission for their truly exceptional photos.
Birds featured are tri-colored heron in breeding plumage, great blue heron, cormorant, anhinga, white egret, green heron, osprey, tern and reddish egret (white morph).
All photos by Phil Lanoue except penultimate (Keith Salvesen) and last (Danny Sauvageau)

Stupendous! Thanks so much for sharing these awesome photos, RH. It is great fun to watch a wader hunt and snap up their prey–photographing them at it is not as easy as it looks here. Really appreciated.

Thanks Jet. This was a great post to get ready before we went away, so I could just press the publish button on my phone. I have some of my own pics of fish being eaten by herons / egrets, but none as clear as these great shots! RH

Why thank you Dina! These guys are expert and just wait for the right shot (I just snap away and hope some work out…). BTW I liked your Kransekake. I must send you a pic of the one we had last year, covered in little Norwegian flags! RH
