    I love watching that behavior, would love to see the next frame :)

    Well exposed and the corresponding habitat for this digging.

    Great timing, EXP, and COMP and a very good image. had you gotten down in the slimy wet oozing mud the image would have been much more intimate and effective.

    I have never seen a bird like this before, thanks for posting. I feel the anticipation of the "sproing!" when the worm comes out of the muck. :) Agree with Artie on the angle...

    Great picture, like the behavior capture here. Hard to imagine that a worm, with out extremities, can hold with so much force to a smooth surface.
