Richie, I never have seen a heron which has chosen for such a starting point on its hunt for fish. So it's going to be a steep dive, 😁 ! Extraordinary shot, perfectly seen and captured!
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

During one of my few visits to Mississippi I have been lucky to see a blue heron sitting up in a tree in this manner, quite possibly on the hunt for food (when are they not, eh?). Unfortunately, by the time I had pulled my camera from the car he was already on the wing. Besides that golden eye, I love that long stippling on his neck, something I do not believe ours has. I am curious about those dots in the air behind and below him, though. Do you know if that is birds in the air or a cloud of bugs? My money is on bugs, since they are pretty much all the same shape and size. Another outstanding bird capture, Richie.
