Night Heron Catching Dinner

Best by far on black. We went on a hike yesterday late afternoon in between rain storms and I decided to bring my camera. I'm really glad I did! What a thrill. Last Summer we went to Rhode Island and I tried and tried to get a good night heron shot without much success. Yesterday, even without a good bird lens, I got an amazing series of shots with him watching for dinner, catching it, carrying it to a place that he could eat it in peace, flying with it, and finally swallowing it whole with his gullet filled. I was jumping with glee!
I'm so sorry to not be commenting on your pictures, but it is really hard to find the time while on vacation. Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Great capture. Does it have something around it’s neck or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
