Just for Grins and Giggles, this is the entire sequence (as much as I could get, anyway) of a Great Egret snagging dragonflies. This is a compilation of several snags as he got at least 5 while I made these shots. First shot hes scoping out the pickings. 2,3 he finds a victim then zeroes in on him, 4. he makes the pick, 5. There is an initial assessment of how to get the victim from the end of the beak to the throat, 6-7-8, he maneuvers the victim up his beak, 9. the coup de etat is performed and 10. its Down the Hatch. Some shots are a bit more blurred than I would have liked, but these guys necks move at incredible speeds; as observed, theyre even faster than a dragonfly. All Images were shot at the same time in St. Andrews State Park, FL
