Heron Swallows Fish Whole Over Glacial Stream

by Olivia Kaufman

Soft, diffused light from an overcast sky washes the greenish-grey water of a glacial stream in Rio Grande do Sul. A heron stands knee-deep in the current, its long neck arched sharply as it forces a silver fish down its throat. Raindrops ripple the surface, creating small, sharp distortions against the bird's sleek, slate-grey feathers. The fish's scales flash briefly before disappearing into the beak. Droplets rest on the heron's beak tip, sliding slowly down the curve of its bill. The water churns slightly around the bird's legs, mixing with the pale, milky glacial flow.
