Here's another shot from the Pantanal in Brazil, this was taken at Pousada Piuval, a very nice lodge. If you look closely at the large version I think the prey item in the air is a tadpole.

Nate,

great pose, nice light, good action, nice positioning slightly diagonal, and very nice low angle of photography. Well done.

Great POV, details and color in the ibis! And of course good catch in catching the tadpole. Thanks for sharing.

Love that POV and DOF here with nice exposure... And you got a brownie points with that airborne tadpole.
