This Great Blue Heron was quite proud of the catfish it "caught". I say "caught" because the fish was already quite dead and already starting to decompose a bit. Regardless, the heron would drop it occasionally then viciously spear it again as if it was still a lively specimen that was about escape if it wasn't subdued quickly. Finally, after many aborted swallow attempts, the catfish went down the hatch and the look in the heron's eyes in the last photo was one of "Uh oh, what the hell did I just do?"
