Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Bluegill Sashimi

Heron tongue and fish tail glimpsed here.
Six minutes between spearfishing forays. Two similar-sized fish, Bluegills I think, flopped down the gullet.
Second one came up with a long root or branch that wasn’t in the way for long.
A combination of tongue and shaking dislodges the prey from the lower bill?
I was so concentrating on photographing the Green Heron that I didn’t notice the Great White coming along the other side.
