This little blue heron with the large catfish was photographed in the morning on the Anhinga Trail in the Everglades of Florida. It was taken, on a tripod, with a Canon 20D and a Canon 500mm f4 IS lens. AV mode 1/2000 sec f4.5 -1 exposure compensation. This little bird was fishing and fishing and it was so stunned when it captured this large catfish that it just sat on this snag for a bit trying to either rejoice in its skill or contemplate how to swallow it.
