Slowly, slowly a Green Heron inched along a log and finally moved into a small patch of sun for a well lit photograph.
Herons are known for their patient hunting and this one had the routine down.
With less patience than the Green Heron I put my camera down when he stood up a bit thinking he had given up on whatever he was stalking. I should have stuck with it another 20 seconds.
Bam, a large frog became lunch but was not to be photographed as heron with frog disappeared into the dark underbrush.
Nice photos, I feel for the missed frog grabbing shot.
Thanks, Donna! The things we miss, LOL, part of what keeps us getting out there!
So close!
Any time I want to see real action, all I need to do is put my lens cap on!

Oh, how often that does the trick!
You’ve captured the bird’s intensity. Wonderful photos Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda! Intense is a good word for them!
Great photos Ellen!
Thanks, Greta!
