Eat That Frog!

Posted by lisaonthebeach on

To some, it may be a self help book on procrastination.

To this Black-crowned Night-Heron, it’s breakfast 😊

With some patience, on both my part and the heron’s, together we were able to see this through to the final act. Well worth the wait.

Happy Bird!

      Thank you Sarah. Yes many folks are very sad for the frog 😢 Funny how all creatures can bring out our emotions, isn’t it?

      Thank you! I’m finding folks are not a big fan of the poor frog giving it up for the heron, though! I’d not ran across something like that before, I was quite fascinated!

      Well, I actually think he was not alive, as he did not hop away when the heron dropped him. But it is kind of sad 😢 I was mostly fascinated when I noticed the heron with the frog.

      Thank you Donna! I was quite amazed. And he let me slowly creep closer. I was focused on the bird and not the poor little frog 😢

    These are quite amazing! Of course, I can’t help but be sad for the frog, but you sure caught that bird in some great poses.
