The Evening Meal
Yesterday I showed an egret having a light breakfast. Well perhaps he was saving room for dinner.
This looks like a much more substantial meal that should fill him up nicely! 🙂

Great catch all around! 🙂 But I’m looking at the size of the egret’s body and at the size of the fish, and I’m thinking it’s going to do more than just fill him up, LOL!

It never fails to amaze me the size of fish these birds will catch and eat. There are times when the bird will think about it and decide to drop the fish and walk away, but mostly they get it down.

It’s surprising that an egret could fly after having such an enormous meal!

They usually don’t fly right away. They stand around for a while with a funny look on their face.

They work on it for a while but eventually get it down somehow. Lucky for the egret the eagle wasn’t around to steal the fish.

They get lucky like this on occasion, but more often they have to make do with lots of small snack size fish!

Watching them thinking about it and deciding if they for sure want to really try to swallow a fish like this can be comical. 🙂

Hard one to swallow I bet.

Fish this size do involve a lot more work and requires a major decision be made.

At least I don’t have to swallow a big fish I just photograph them doing it. 🙂

That’s a fine looking fish. I’d almost consider grabbing it from him for my own dinner. Any idea what type it is?

I think that fish is probably a mullet which is a big bird favorite. Eagles ospreys, blue herons, and wood storks all love ’em!

Ya never know though, sometimes even after a big meal they go right back in for more. Guess they figure they are on a hot streak!
