So I finally caught up with this guy at a local inner-city lake. There are many ducks and geese there, but the Great Blue Heron is only an occasional visitor. It's a nice lake with trails all around, where I often walk my boxer. It seemed as though the days I neglected to bring my camera gear were the days this guys would show up. I finally caught him, and actually caught it fishing, which was very cool. There are a lot of reeds and other vegetation around so these would not be wall hangers, but C&C would be most appreciated anyway. Thanks!

Edit - I clearly do not know how to size these for FM. If someone wants to let me know I can repost larger, the photos look much better larger. Thanks





I just arrived on the banks and got set up, and there it was, very interested in something.







And it goes in for the catch







I'm going to take it over to those ducks and show it off a bit...







...And the ducks are not impressed.







It finds it's fish... (this was actually supposed to be Number 3..)

Very nice set ! They are a lot of fun to watch and photograph.
As to sizing , it does vary , but I post about 1000 px. on the longest side.

Thank you, Birdie for looking and commenting. I have resized them so hopefully they look better.

An excellent story-telling series, Sharon.
I guess I have a smaller monitor than some, because 800 on the long axis is just right for my screen.
Anything much bigger and I have to scroll- even on the horizontals.
About getting a pic out of sequence: the only way I can reliably get it in the right place is to just do them all again. I'm sure that's at least partly my ineptitude, though .

You captured some great action Sharon, congrats It's amazing what these guys can swallow, that's a wide fish!

Thanks once more, everyone. It's so intimidating to post here!

The environment, with all the reeds and so forth was not ideal; I was just so excited to finally get a few decent shots of this guy. Wish I had a 500 mm to shoot with!
