I took many shots of this Green Heron that August day and will feature more in the coming weeks. When herons are intent on fishing they pay little attention to the birdwatching and photographic audience. Lucky for us, as we watched he went about his business. In this shot his head feathers are still a bit messed up from a recent catch in the lake.

Great detail on this shot, Belinda. I really enjoy herons — especially those deer-in-the-headlights eyes. 🙂

Great capture, Belinda! I love the pose and the ruffled up head. And that he is out in the open so you could get his whole body.

Thank you Ellen. They often fish close to shore at this reserve, so clear shots are pretty common).
