On the hunt

[GREAPER]

I had the opportunity to watch this Great Blue Heron Hunt fo a bit this morning.

He caught a fish. The shots of the strike are all blurred, but his one was ok when he came up with it. I dont think I really like the shot as his right wing is in a weird position and it looks funny.

He walked up on the bank with it, moved it around for position, and gulp, down it went.

Mmmmmm Tasty. He walked around a bit, I think letting the fish settle in down there. :dunno

Then he flew off to start the hunt again.
