Thanks for all the positive comments! This one was great fun, and at 5.9+ I believe I've made it to one of the infamous groups here on DPC!

This juvenile yellow crowned night heron(?) snagged this meal from a lake near my apartment, dropped it on the levee he's standing on, and fought for 20 minutes to no avail. The fish was just too big, and the bird could never figure out how to get it in its hungry bill. When a fisherman approached, he grabbed his catch, flew back out over the lake, and accidentally dropped the fish!!

O well, win some-lose some.

Thanks again :)

if it was on a beach, or if i could see water, the picture would have made a lot more sense

Great shot. Love the way the fish appears to be looking at the bird.

Great clarity, especially in the eye. It technically fits the challenge, but not really what interests me.
