Catch of the Day

Description

It's an early morning in August and this egret was hungry, so it waded in the water patiently, waiting for the chance to strike at the right time for whatever fish was unfortunate enough to come across its path at Ottawa's Petrie Island. Patience paid off and the egret caught itself a fish... a small fish, albeit a small fish, so surely that won't be enough for fill its belly. So after the catch it kept wading for more fishing opportunities.
