Some have asked what happened to the chipmunk. Well, sadly he became the heron’s lunch. My neighbor has a bird feeder that has been attracting a lot of wildlife this year and this guy seemed to return daily to hunt for food. I never knew that rodents were consumed by these birds and it was very unexpected. It also was seen eating mice as well. Ah, the circle of life!
They even kill and eat large rats (plenty of such video's on youtube)

Holy cow!! Never seen that before! Did it get away? What happened?I would have liked a little more space above, it seems a bit squished. And it's too bad about the placement of the reed. But that's not something you can control.
Dear God, that is something I have never seen! Definitely a photo of the moment, and I am curious as to the outcome. In terms of photographic merit it is a 6, but in terms of photo uniqueness, a 10 - a 7 from me, but this needs wider exposure (forgive the unintended photographic pun) in natural history circles.
