Stalker

I love how these guys hunt. The intensity in the eye is incredible, especially considering they can hunt a quick meal and still keep track of intruders - you know, like photogs.

Great Egret

Nice DOF. It really makes the photo.

Thanks Rick and Black Sheep. I'm always amazed at how quick these guys are. Boom, 1/10 of a second and they have food. It's hard to catch them in the act unless they snag something big.

That's cool... love where you captured him.

The crop feels a little off to my eye, but... meh.

The above shot is # 1 in a series shot at 3:40:40, :41, :42. This attests at the speed by which these guys gather their food. These next two are :40 and :41 in the sequence. unfortunately, I wasn't taking care with my shutter speed and only hit these at 1/500 which isn't nearly quick enough for an action capture. (I also didn't do the full monty PP work on these two.)
