Tropical Fish Farmer's Nightmare

[Ira Runyan]

I bet that a Florida Tropical Fish farmer would cringe upon seeing this bird at his fish pond.......

This Least Bittern was at the Viera Wetlands dining on Sailfin Mollies, a common aquarium tropical fish. He was capturing and eating a Molly about every 3-5 minutes.

WOW. These are great and exceptional and wonderful. The top one, especially, ranks as one of the best wildlife images I've ever seen.
Ira, you need to enter these in those contests. You Florida guys sure have a paradise for bird photographers.

Excellent shots! You can sure see the concentration in his hunting.
