B.O.D. 2/15/05 not for frog lovers

Hi you'll,

Today I ran into a Green Heron who had just found lunch

[Harryb]

Before it would swallow the frog it dunked it in the water to get some vegetation off the frog.

[Harryb]

Then it gav ethe frog a second dunk. Maybe to give it that swamp water taste?

[Harryb]

It finalyy got it positioned right and

Number 1 is fantastic Harry,

You need to get an agent or something.

These are fantastic captures! What makes them special to me is that they represent a part
of the birds every day life. I hear frongs taste just like chicken. Even to the Herons :D

Hey Trish,

I'm feeling chipper again. :smile6

Glad you liked the pics, the green heron was a big help. I was using my 80-400 VR for those pics. The 80-400 works better in the Wetlands because you get so clsoe tot he birds. The 300mm + 1.4 TC is my lens of choice at Merritt Island. Speaking of Merritt Island here's a link with the weekends shooting schedule if you are interested. http://www.nikoncafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=376

Not to worry. When you make ht emove give me a holler.

IanThanks Ian for your comments. For herons, just like Andy, eating is their main occupation. The frogs actually taste like spare ribs. :food

Thanks Ian for your comments. For herons, jusy like Andy, eating is their main occupation. The frogs actually taste like spare ribs. :food

HEY! in between meals i manage to shoot a few pitchas, y'know? :huh

Thanks Jeff and I'm relieved that you are finally beginning to like my non-bird pics. 95% of my photography has been non-bird pics. :evil

:lol4

[ginger_55]

I spent my childhood weekly, almost, at a certain restaurant, outside of detroit, eating frog legs.

They do not taste like ribs, Harry, they taste like chicken. My parents said so.

(Then when I got older I shot them with a BB gun)

Great photographs of the event, Harry, I love the first photo which seques (sp) into the rest. Tell that bird that is no way to eat frog legs. Geez.

Isn't it neat how they wash their food, though. That was the only heron who stayed around for me to photograph him, one who was obsessed with the food washing preparing, etc.

(I only shoot things with a camera now. Am against gun ownership, but that was sure fun back in the olden days as a kid)

I'd like to tell you that this shot really touches me. It's a harsh topic but you gave it this soft-sad feel to it, a moment. you just blew me away. very very nice job. :clap

Hey Ginger,

I tried to tell that heron about the proper way of eating frog legs but he was not buying it. Thanks for the comments on the pics.

Green herons are pretty cool. They will even put food or bait in the water to attract fish .

Thank you. I was afraid of AJ's reaction. The green heron's frog looked a lot like AJ's frog. :evil

Next time I see you I have to get a picture of you dunking your frog legs. I then can compare your style to the heron's to see who will get the "style" points.
:heh

Thanks for the kind comments. you do have to feel sorry for the frog. He was in the wrong weight class.
