Took this very early yesterday morning in Creek at Nature Preserve. More birds have been returning everyday from migration. This is first Green Heron I have seen this Spring. He has his neck tight to his shoulders here but can stretch his neck to about a foot long. He stretches his neck when he perches on fallen tree limbs into water as he slowly moves down to water and I mean very slowly till he spots a fish and darts his bill into water and comes up with dinner. They are fun to watch.

Excellent shot. I hope to get a few shots like this this year. Maybe not your quality, but I'm trying.

Nice shot. Did you sneak up on this little guy? He looks very intent on hunting for food.

Great capture of the bird. The background is a little distracting.

Although I agree to a certain extend with Pat's comment above about the background, like to say that this is again a wonderful image Gerry.
