I shot this greater yellowlegs about 3 or 4 weeks ago as it was foraging. Luckily the bird held the fish long enough for me to get off a couple of shots before it was gulped down.

Great job getting him right as he cleared the reeds. The fish is a sweet bonus!!

Wow, great catch! I didn't know these guys ate fish and I suspect this is a fairly unique image of this behavior. Way to go!

I like the fact that it's coming through the reeds also. Nice low light and expression, he looks quite pleased with his catch.

I love this image, it's a GREAT habitat shot!

Great light and shooting to you all!
