I was pressure washing my boat Saturday in preparation for a wet sand and buff when this guy landed in the tree right next to me. He had a mouse in his talons when he first landed. I was surprised to see him in the day time and even more suprised that my roaring pressure washer did not disturb him.

I thought the little guy was a night heron. It's adorable to see a mother bird still cares for her young after they can leave the nest.

A heron eating a tilapia at Myakka River State Park. Taken from a rental canoe some years ago. The heron, succeeded in swallowing the whole fish.

Maybe it is a night heron. I just assumed it was the baby because they seem to hang out together. I see them often together.
