The Blue Heron's All You Can Eat Lunch Deal

If you look closely you can see the great blue heron feasting on fish.  S/he moves like a tai chi practitioner, waiting, stalking, and in one gulp--catching and swallowing the fish whole.  And it seemed like the fish were taking turns jumping into its mouth! The keeper sat with the binos for a while today watching the slow, graceful bird and the unwitting fish.  She didn't see the mate, though.
