bird fighting fish

they've drastically lowered the level of my backyard lakes

exposing some very interesting structure

undercut banks beneath the reedbeds

a perfect place for grampa bucketmouth to lurk

awaiting prey

though that's not what I want to type about...

yesterday I was fortunate enough to watch a heron hunt for about half an hour

every two to three steps his head and very shark beak would stab slash and swallow

it was cool

then this morning I saw a fairly large fish flash on two small birds

robins?  I dunno...

anyways I wrote down the phrase "bird fighting fish"

googled and image searched it 

and came across these two cool images...

*update*  wow - turns out this post/pic was rather prescient
I just watched one heron chase another off his turf on the backyard bass pond
pretty fuggin' cool
