Standing 3' tall and with a 5' wingspan, its not called the Great Egret for nothing.

Based on my observations, these egrets are very successful when it comes to plucking even the smallest bait fish out of the water. But sometimes, as in this instance, the fish gets lucky.

It never fails to amaze me how these terns are able to locate a small fish from height and plunge dive with such success. This image is best seen on black background at largest display.
