Urban Hunter

Shhh. I’m hunting wizards.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

This Great Egret has discovered the smorgasbord of plump, green delights (aka frogs and lizards) around the homes in our neighborhood. He used to hunt across the street, but I guess they must have ran out of food…so he came over to our house.

Great Egret
Stands About 3-4 Feet Tall

I fear for all the Green Anole lizards who live there; they are our veggie garden’s top pest control. I watched helplessly behind my camera as he gobbled down about 8 of them.

John says he reminds him of a velociraptor in Jurassic Park. In watching his slow, purposeful hunt, I have to say I must agree.
