Heron's Catch - 12/29/2012

I went to the Ala Wai Park and saw this Heron. I was fascinated by how he was hunting for his meal.
I watched him catch a small fish and swallowed it whole.
I watched him catch a couple more..he'd be really still (which made it easier for my camera to get a sharp shot) then go in for the quick grab.
Then he caught this humongous fish.  I was wondering how he's gonna eat that..
I can't believe he also managed to gulp it down.. I could see his neck get fat..
After about 6 fishes or so, he finally was full, I swear he looked fatter.
On my walk, I also saw this pair of cardinals.. they were really cute...but really fast.

Wow, what an oinky fish. I've seem them eat 4-5 small fish. Never saw one swallow a fish that big. Cool capture!
