Illustration Friday: Capture

 

Once the Green Heron has captured the prey with its incredible vision, it is only a matter of time before it is the herons next meal. With lighting speed the heron is able to swoop down and grab its prey and swallow it whole then it will return to its perch and wait for the next victim. I captured a picture of this heron on our pond and have been observing it now for two years. Last year it had two babies and stayed around for a few weeks before moving on. Graphite on paper.
