Heron eating big fish, Cyprus Trees 4.20.14

Yesterday afternoon we anchored behind Butcher’s Bend at marker G109.

This Blue Heron caught a big fish…big enough to make most of the folks fishing jealous.

It had to reposition it several times till it could get it aimed the right way.

There it goes….look how fat his neck is now.

Looks like it’s almost gone. That should hold him a few days. I wonder long it will be before it’s hungry again.

Nice night at anchor….listened to the gators growl off and on all night long. I think they were on the other side of the island so it wasn’t loud enough to get on camera.

Decided to haul out today…here is a series of Cyprus Trees on the river banks.

Overcast…cool drizzly day….this was the only wildlife we saw on the way to the boat ramp.
