My sister was driving, it was pouring rain, & we were stuck in traffic in Kauai, Hawaii. I had my camera out looking for photo opportunities & I noticed this Snowy Egret on a fence at the side of the road, so decided to snap his picture. Since I was pretty far away & I don't have a very good zoom lense, I couldn't see what he had in his mouth until we got home & I put it on the computer. We were really shocked to find out he'd caught a bat for his supper! This has got to be one of the best photos I've ever taken & this whole scene was mostly luck at being in the right place at the right time :) Needless to say, I was really thrilled! ©2010 Patricia Griffin Brett

Wow! It probably taste like chicken. That does seem unusual. But it doesn't really surprise me. After all, some people eat snails. Yuck. I knJoanie Holliday 27 Jul 2011
