Swamp Gator Loc: Coastal South Carolina

This past Thur. evening I was watching this juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron feeding along the edge of the marsh.
At one point the youngster came up with a nice little crab for dinner.

This is another of your excellent captures. I must say, it's kind of creepy with those little spidery legs sticking out - but that's just my aversion to spiders and the like rearing its ugly head. :-)

Just because inquiring minds (at least mind) want to know: When you get a head shot of a night heron like this with crab---just what percentage of the original file are you showing? Just how close to the bird were you for the original shot? I can't get that close to a night heron, even with a blind.

Believe it or not Larry this is full frame, not a bit of crop. This guy was right next to me when he popped up with his crab. I had been watching him stalk prey along the edge of the marsh pond for a little while and he totally ignored me the entire time.

These are all barely cropped if at all.

Thanks for looking.
