“I’ll Have The Shrimp!”
Late this afternoon, just as I was about to leave for the day, I saw this egret in the salt marsh come up with a huge shrimp.
This was not just the biggest shrimp I ever saw a bird catch in the salt marsh, it was the biggest shrimp I ever saw anywhere!
The egret must have struggled with that shrimp for a good 20 minutes, but sure enough, he got it swallowed and down. I’m guessing this was the most shrimp that egret ever ate at one time.
Talk about a shrimp platter… that shrimp was as big as a platter. 🙂

Ye gods! It’s enough to give you indigestion, just looking at that!
Yeah but with a little cocktail sauce I just might be persuaded to give it a go. 🙂
Wow, “jumbo shrimp” always sounds like an oxymoron, but in this case it does not seem at all to be a contradiction in terms.
What an Amazing sequence – and what a gigantic shrimp!
The shot with the shrimp in the air is perfect timing.
I bet he ‘d love a little Old Bay on that shrimp! Fantastic action series!
I like my shrimp without the shell.
That indeed is one huge shrimp, I am always amazed at the size of some of things they are able to swallow.
It’s kind of crazy to call that a shrimp. A tasty meal to make you both happy.
