Description

This Great Egret (Ardea alba) has just caught a small fish, which in the next few seconds will be well on the way to the bird's stomach. The skill with which it carefully watches the water, then grabs the fish in the blink of an eye, is amazing to watch. The Great Egret - also known as Great White Egret - is a member of the Heron family. This one is on the edge of a pond in Minnesota.
