Overachiever

This Yellow-crowned Night Heron appeared to me to be a youngish bird and the way it was hunting, I thought it was going after small, easily handled prey. So I was unprepared when it came up with one of the larger blue crabs I have seen plucked from Horsepen Bayou, then immediately bolted for the shoreline to landlock its catch.
