Just a diversionary iguana in the tree out my window to move the heron's breakfast down a notch.

Great Heron - One Cold Hunter
!!! BRUTAL NATURE ALERT !!!
I always knew the Great Heron is an exceptional fisher. Even knew they enjoyed opportunistic meals of little lizards and the like. Never knew they are such cold and methodical hunters.
That all changed this morning when one came swooping into the shallows of the lake outside my window with a baby muscovy duck in it's beak.
What follows is a rather brutal breakfast. It was chilling to document.
