Nature in Action: What's for Dinner?

By
Real Estate Agent with Tropic Shores Realty - Ich spreche Deutsch!

Walking through the backyard the other day, I heard a noise that made me turn around.  Seeing the Egret standing there did not surprise me as that happens quite often, what made me look twice was what was on his menu that day!

Hi Cindy, it's a mouse.  I wish I could have gotten closer. I tried to zoom into the photo but it'll get distorted.

Silvia, Great shot, being in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately for the mouse, he was in the wrong place at the right time. Rich

Sylvia, great shot and good timing. You must have had your camera ready when you heard the squeak.

Now there's an option over a cat, for taking care of the pesky mice.

Tony, I agree. I was afraid to scare him away (the bird) and spoil his dinner so I didn't dare get closer.

Charles, a "scooby snack"?  I've never heard of that!  Thanks for stopping in!

Tad, the cats around here are not hungry enough to bother... lol.

Teresa, this little drama took place in my backyard so the camera wasn't too far.

Well, that looked pretty yummy.... for him. Now I think I'll have to let my lunch sit for a little while until I get a different visual in my head. LOL

I'm hoping that Mr. Egret bought dinner at a take-out and brought it over to your place to enjoy.

Cool transitional photo shots- I guessed it was a mouse so am glad to see I was correct.
