Great Blue Heron Does A Little Fishing

.

About a week ago, I pulled up alongside a wetland area at Eastern Neck NWR where I found this Great Blue Heron busy fishing and turned off my car.

I was stared upon briefly for the interruption, but then deemed not a threat as the beautiful heron went on about its business.

Another small reward

Truthfully, this was just too easy!  For the Great Blue Heron, who was snatching up one after another; and for me, shooting from the comfort of my car.  I could have sat there forever watching and clicking; but I didn’t want the heron to take flight because of me, so I slowly pulled away and left.

I looked back and the Great Blue Heron was striking again!  Bingo, another snack!  🙂
