This Yellow-crowned Night Heron had captured a crab when I disturbed it. Quickly adjusting the crab in its beak off it went, presumbably to find a quiet area to consume the prize.

That Night-heron shot must have been a snap (pun intended) decision. Flushing a bird and then getting a picture of it is very hard to do.
Fantastic shot!
