Nice photographs; looks like a Tilapia to me as well and I see quite a few of them @ the pier here in Fort Walton Beach. I often see Great Blues here dining on them but can't blame that one for giving up on such a large fish. Thanks for sharing.

This Great Blue Heron caught a nice fish for lunch. I think the fish is a tilapia. Can anyone help identify this Florida fresh water fish?
That is one big fish for the GBH to catch. He must have been thrilled. It does look like a tilapia. I like them, too.

I would like to see just how he got that fish down his throat.
Actually he didn't. I think he decided it was too big. First time I've ever seen that happen. Thanks for commenting.

It's a tilapia for sure. Those are also great shots for sure. I have a Nikon D7100 on order, and if it produces shots like that I will be more than happy with it.
