The heron could not get this fish fully out of the water - likely a combination of fish size and lake grass holding it down.
This is the infamous N757A “Catfish”, the first Boeing 757 ever built, later extensively modified for use by Lockheed Martin as an F-22 sensor and avionics testbed.
This is an adult Caspian Tern, the largest Tern in the world. They have a wingspan of 127-145cm and weigh 540-780g. Compare that with say Common Tern with a wingspan of 88cm and a weight of 130g, which means you would need about 6 Common Terns to tip the scales against a single Caspian Tern. The first one I saw was in the 1980s at Minsmere (Suffolk) and I scanned across the pool through the roosting terns and was surprised I didn't see it immediately. That's because my search image was of a smaller bird, whereas this was larger than the large gulls that were also roosting there, so I initially passed it over as a gull. They are widely distributed around the globe, across North America, Eurasia, Africa down to Australia and New Zealand. But they are patchily distributed and not very common. The entire global population is 50,000 pairs, whereas there are more pairs of Arctic Terns nesting in Britain alone than that (53,000).
I photographed this adult at Iona Beach near Vancouver Airport where there were six individual Caspian Terns. They were making regular fishing forays into a freshwater pool but this was the only photo I managed that showed they were definitely feeding on Catfish (see the flat face and the barbels). I posted a young bird with a dark tail band and an orangey bill but this is a full red-billed adult with a clean white tail. The dappled white forehead shows it is moulting into non-breeding plumage,
I had stopped at a park to take a break for only a few minutes. During that short time, I was lucky enough to witness this snake, swimming in the creek, carrying a catfish it had caught.
Sucking Catfish has been bullying the smaller of our Clown Loaches ... biting its tail! So we moved it to the bottom tank. Now it is all by itself ... at least for now.
Catfish thought that Osperina sounded like the perfect gal when they first started dating. Little did he know that she would rip his heart out...literally.

Very muddy catfish caught by this Great Blue Heron at Bombay Hook NWR
This heron has the nictitating membrane (eyelid) closed to protect the eye from the mud, which is interesting but not good for photography as it makes the eye look very hazy.
The light for this photograph is very soft as there was dense fog, but there is a hint of warmth as the sun was starting break through the fog.

Did you know catfish have the highest number of taste buds, more than any other animal in the world, with as many as 175,000, not just in their mouths, but across their whiskers and down the sides of their bodies? Humans only have about 10,000 taste buds.

The catfish was going around stirring up the seabed, the other one was following picking up any tasty morsels it could find!!
A very difficult image to see. The large river fish that is catfish has been seen on occasions attacking pigeons on the banks of rivers. This time he tries to catch a sandpiper in flight. The fish's mouth can be seen coming out of the water trying to hunt the bird, which with a quick maneuver extends its tail feathers and manages to avoid the catfish's jaws. A scene that occurred in the Ebro River, Spain.
Una imagen muy difícil de ver. El gran pez de río que es el siluro se le ha visto en ocasiones atacando a palomas en la orilla de los ríos. En esta ocasión intenta atrapar a un andarríos en pleno vuelo. Puede verse la boca del pez saliendo del agua intentando cazar al ave, que con una rápida maniobra extiende las plumas de su cola y consigue esquivar las fauces del siluro. Una escena ocurrida en el Río Ebro, España.

I went over to my neighbour's this morning and she fed her Catfish. You can see its upside-down head and whiskers sticking out of the water. It was huge!
Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve State Park is located east of Dundee in Polk County, FL. It is one of the best places to experience Florida scrub, a habitat that is usually pretty low on my list of favorites in Florida, but one that comes off very well in Catfish Creek, where rare rolling terrain and a multitude of large ponds make this a very enjoyable and unique hiking experience. I always advocate hiking in Florida during the winter, and this is exceptionally true at Catfish Creek, where the sandy surface is a pleasure to experience in the cold, but near unbearable in the heat.
