Early Bird Gets the Worm ~ Yes, this is an earthworm caught by this Great Egret after a rainy day. He caught many of them while I watched, grabbing them from the wet grass, then sort of tossing them up into his bill to swallow them.
Doin' the Twist ~ This Great Egret was busy watching for, and capturing food (mostly earthworms after the rain), and I thought it almost looked like dance moves.
Got an Itch? ~ This Great Egret took time out from hunting and eating to scratch an itch. I shot about 8 pics of him scratching before he was done. This one gives a good look at his foot; those claws look good for scratching.
