The first photo is of a Great White Egret catching a pig frog. Jim took this at the Viera Wetlands location that we discussed in our last posting. I'm fond of pig frogs and have a picture of one on my wall, but even so, this makes for an interesting photo.

A new year, and things appear to be getting back to pre-holiday normal. Please notice a couple of interesting meetings that I've listed in the Calendar of Events. This coming Thursday, Dr. Duane DeFreese is speaking about the effects of climate change on sea turtles at the Sea Turtle Preservation Society meeting. Duane is such a compelling speaker - you won't want to miss this.
The Monday, January 12, meeting of the Conradina Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society features Blair and Dawn Witherington, authors of Florida's Living Beaches, speaking on Florida's Beach Plants: Thriving on Catastrophe.
In the blog world, snow is still falling in Washington (Amanda added Frank Sinatra's Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow on her music listing today), Florida Cracker mused about rivers of his childhood on his Pure Florida blog (that triggered a lot of childhood memories for several readers), Birdchick posted a funny video on Prairie Chickens, and Cactus Jack is back wearing his tarp because of the cold weather.

I have seen cartoons of Egrets trying to eat a frog, always thought it was a joke.
Those are really nice photos (well maybe not for the frog)
Love the photos!! Remind me of where i grew up in Louisiana
