Green Heron

Do you see what I see, a
fish, a fish, shimmering on the surface
with a tail as big as a bite,
with a tail as big as a bite

Yesterday we could hardly point the camera and not hit a Green Heron...there were lots of Least Bitterns, too but they stayed out too far for decent shots.

Very nice catch! The pose, the stump and twig --- cool!

They seem to be a favorite subject among forum members. Nice shot!

BD, nice shot.- There is a part of me that says if it was mine I probably would have cropped off the upper, skinnier part of that branch, or what ever it is. Not sure.

I gave that thought but I liked the way the curve helped to push the "lean" of the Heron. It still might work and it may yet need some exposure work on his neck and head as suggested earlier. This one is a juvenile without the stronger coloration of an adult and they tend to reflect more light shooting from a frontal position.
