  Thank you, Minna! I love watching herons and waiting for that moment they strike for a fish. This one had his/her back to me and turned around, almost like to show me, Hey, I got it! 😊

What a wonderful capture Donna, and such a large bird. I can see why the word great is used to name it, as it is large, and impressive for a Heron.
