Tough bird to capture on camera. I have tried and tried with no luck. Very crisp and clean image. Great capture. :wavey:

Greetings from over the pond. A very nice detailed capture with the bonus of a meal too.

Barry - Glad to hear that you made it home safely. Do stay in touch and send us some images from home from time to time.

Nice behavioral shot Daniel. I still remember the first time I saw one of these. At the time I'd never heard of them before so I was quite captivated by it.

I have never seen a green heron on Arkansas. I would make it a regular thing to go watch this bird eat!
