Springing Into Action and then The Strike

The quickness of the Herons and Egrets is absolutely amazing. These are some of the most intent, and relentless hunters in the natural world.

BD, nice action sequence. I know what you mean by their speed. I have watched them at Viera and at Merritt Island they just don't wait to strike.

I agree fully with the previous comments. Beautiful!

Great timing!

I wish you had one more shot, showing what the catch was.

These are very nice though.

What shutter speed on the second photo?

Good captures. love the one of the strike, but like Parker219, am left wanting to see if a fish was caught! Maybe the bird came up empty???

He turned just about as quickly as he made the strike and his head disappeared around a tree. Trust me, I wanted that part as much as any...c'est la vie with these pesky birds. :apologetic:
