This heron had caught a few tiny fish, then came up with this big catfish. Likely won't have to eat for a while after this!
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.
Everglades,Florida
This is another cormorant with catfish for lunch
The great blue heron speared a good-sized catfish and walked to the bank of the pond with it. It put it down and speared it and rinsed it repeatedy, but was not able to consume it while I watched. Whether the fish eventually went down the hatch or not I don't know....
Hungry catfish were competing for french fries thrown into the river by diners at an area restaurant located at a riverside marina.
This Osprey was hard at work on his catfish prey, removing morsels that would be taken to his nearby nest where his mate and offspring awaited breakfast.
Seen at Everglades National Park.
I noted movement in a small inlet on the lake, and found that there was a _very_ large group of catfish milling together. I'm truly surprised the herons, egrets and grebes haven't found them and cleared them out! (Checked again today, and they were still there!)
The eeltail catfish are a family of catfish whose tails are elongated in an eel-like fashion. These catfishes are native to the Indian Ocean and western Pacific from Japan to Australia and Fiji. The family includes about 41 species in 10 genera. Wikipedia

Great Egrets develop fancy plumes when they are in breeding plumage and seem to be quite famous for that but their lores also change color from yellow to a lime green and the top mandible turning very dark. With the lores being so colorful during courtship the eyes seem to look even paler than normal.
Fish are a dietary staple, but great egrets use similar techniques to eat amphibians, reptiles, mice, and other small animals. These birds nest in trees, near water and gather in groups called colonies, which may include other heron or egret species.
I found this one in the early stages of changing to the breeding colors and plumage along Joe Overstreet Road as it was catching a Catfish for breakfast.
Long Point, Ontario.
I found several fish carcasses washed up at the tip. This Black Bullhead was among them and was readily being devoured by maggots.
I was watching this green heron perched on the rock patiently waiting for its next meal. Usually they will extend that long neck and pluck something from the water. That was not the case here. In a flash this greenie launched itself from the rock and into the water. This shot is it exiting with its morning meal, a small catfish.

The Most Awesome Mode of Transportation ever made. THE CATFISH!
Made by my friend Cindy Henusaki at C.H.C. Go check out her inventory here.
Plotosus lineatus can reach a maximum length of 32 cm (13 in). The body is brown with cream-colored or white longitudinal bands.
The most striking feature of this species is in the fins, in fact the second dorsal, caudal and anal are fused together as in eels. In the rest of the body is quite similar to a freshwater catfish: the mouth is surrounded by four pairs of barbels, four on the upper jaw and four on the lower jaw. The first dorsal and each of the pectoral fins have a highly venomous spine. They may even be fatal.
Juveniles of Plotosus lineatus form dense ball-shaped schools of about 100 fish, while adults are solitary or occur in smaller groups of around 20 and are known to hide under ledges during the day.[1] Adult P. lineatus search and stir the sand incessantly for crustaceans, mollusks, worms, and sometimes fish.
