p.1 #1 · Crab V Yellow Crowned Night Heron (Rated M for Violence)
This battle took place in one of the streams at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside NY on Friday morning. I'll narrate as I've removed hundreds of images captured during the 3 minute battle.
-1 The crab in defensive posture claws open ready to strike if attacked.

OMG that is a great sequence! I have to admire the crab for putting up a fight, but really, it was no contest. The crab was doomed from the start.
Thank you Shirley,
You are correct yet it's fun to root for the underdog
