Great Blue Heron

This Great Blue Heron is happy, as it's just finished a successful hunt. The fish it just plucked out of the marsh is still a lump in its throat, and in a moment it will fly away.

I have no idea how it was able to pick a route to fly through the tangled tree limbs and get out of the marsh, as it has an impressive wingspan and would take some forethought to maneuver.
