The Little Blue Heron and His Eel

Today's entertainment at the "Rock Pond" at Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, CT,  was the Little Blue Heron.  He was feeding on eels and small fish.  The eels presented the greatest challenge - he had to grasp the eel  in his beak near the head so he could toss it up and get it to go down head first.

Here is a series of shots wherein the heron is trying to properly position breakfast.
