Green Heron Action
I spent a few morning hours this week down at the Lampasas River, it's just 10 minutes from our home. There were two herons working the area I set up in, they gave me some decent shots as they fished for their breakfast..
You can see a few more on my website - last uploads, if you're into herons :)

Perfect timing with this catch! I like the extended wings and suspended water droplets.

Herons and Egrets are decidedly interesting to watch and photograph. Amazing hunters too. I assume that is a fish in its beak? The action shots of the Green Heron on your website are delightful.

Nice action shot Howard. You caught this heron at the decisive moment. Well done!
