Day 22 - Cracked Crab?


They're baa-aaccck!! The herons were back at the bay today! There were about 8 of them but most were too far to get a good picture. This guy was doing the heron thing - perched motionless for several minutes until he'd lunge. Over and over...sometimes he got something, sometimes just a piece of grass. So I sat on the ground and waited, perched with camera to eye, patiently. I didn't get the lunge this time because it was behind the grass, but he came up with a crab. The following two of the continuous shots show the crab making its progress up the beak and gone!
