A day out exploring nature in coastal Texas with his grandfather turned into a once-in-a-lifetime moment forJacob Hall.
It wasn’t until he looked at his viewfinder that he understood the incredible reason.
Hall hadn’t realized it when he snapped his photographs, but a bobcat was stalking the blue heron.
In Hall’s first photo, the bobcat is visible in the lower right-hand side behind some vegetation.
The feline stares intently at the heron, likely calculating its next move.
Its legs fly out nearly parallel to the water in a stunning show of athleticism.
I was completely in shock and couldnt believe what I had just done, he tells My Modern Met.
Capturing both of those photos is something that I will never forget.
I basically didnt know the bobcat was there until afterward.
I was just in the right place at the right time.
Hall’s photograph was even published by the U.S. ## Don’t see the feline?
We’ll help you out.
