Ardea alba
San Francisco Bay marshland
This egret caught this small rat and killed it by repeatedly sticking it in the water to drown it. Then it swallowed it whole.

Nice! I found 2 Great Egrets doing the same thing in Bodega Bay. Crazily surprising!
Thanks Team Brinez. I would be honored.
Great spotting Donna :D I just want to ask you if I can use this spotting for the profile picture for my mission wildlife of the west coast marshlands. :)
amazing captures!
Stunning series!
What an event to observe and record. Thank you for sharing!
