A great blue heron and great egret in the parking lot by the Big Cypress Bend
boardwalk at Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve. The heron is enjoying a fish
dinner thanks to the hunting skills of the egret. While the egret had initially
held a fish in it's beak, the heron's squabbling caused the egret to drop it.
