Tasty Crab Snack. A detailed study of a Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) eating a Sally Lightfoot crab on a Caribbean reef as waves break around it. This is typical feeding behaviour, prowling the reef, always ready to change direction if it detects movement, or take off if a large wave threatens to engulf the bird. Classic identification photo. Palm Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
