Yellow-crowned Night-Heron from the Skimmer Salt Marsh Safari

My most recent trip on the Skimmer Salt Marsh Safari was a delight because of all the nesting and Moms with chicks. The Back Bays are alive with new life. But a Yellow-crowned Night-Heron put on a wonderful show for us. He caught a crab but couldn't decide how to break it open to eat it. He finally swallowed it almost whole. Here are the pictures of him.
