Put Me Down You Big Brute! by redy4et

Put Me Down You Big Brute!

After this egret (from yesterday's post) tired of perching on the parked car, it stepped gingerly across my neighbor's lawn, surveyed the area and quickly snagged this rather large alligator lizard in the bushes. The tussle that followed was memorialized on video. Without relating the gross details, let's just say the Egret prevailed. I took this shot right before the bitter end.
For the Six Word Story challenge.
That’s nature captured in action.

Egrets usually win. Super capture.

How amazing. Sure is hard to get the exposure right on an egret, isn’t it?

What perfect timing (for you, not so much for the lizard!). And like Jane said, terrific exposure work.

Super capture. It's amazing how these guys can catch something like that and manage to get it down without getting hurt, themselves.

@365nick Well, the egret actually scored a second smaller lizard and then continued its slow meander through the neighborhood. After about 45 minutes, I gave up the hunt went back in the house.
