Southclaw (YCNH & Blue Crab)
Perhaps as close to parity as I have ever seen in a fight between a Yellow-crowned Night Heron and a blue crab but still a one-sided affair. After only a couple of rounds the crab had lost most of the appendages on the right side and those on the left soon followed. Even then it took quite a while for the bird to pulverize the crab's carapace sufficiently to get it down the hatch. On Horsepen Bayou.
