Great Blue Heron swallows a small fish at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge outside in Oceanville, New Jersey which is just north of Atlantic City. This particular refuge features both fresh water and brackish (salt water) marshes and several nice forested trails. I spent the better part of the day on Sunday 3-22-2009 on the eight mile long Wildlife Drive which makes its way around and through much of the brackish marsh areas in the southern most reaches of the refuge. The refuge actually extends quite a distance north of where I was.
