DSC_0313.JPG (Ardea herodias)

Great Blue Heron with a very large snack. This Heron was floating on the lake where it caught this fish (not sure how, didnt see it happen). Took off and flew towards me, when i noticed the large weird shape near its bill. So i kayaked over to where it landed along the shore and was able to get many good shots. Huge fish and still not sure if he ever got it down. Seemed to struggle over about 15 mins to get it any farther than what you see in this photo.
