You can’t help but be impressed by a Green Heron’s patience and flexibility.
Staring intently into the water, seconds ticking by in this postion.
Wham!
The exciting part is over in a flash, with just the water ripples as evidence.
And once again he had success!
Amazing sequence! and that last photo is incredibly sharp!
Thanks, Liz, glad that you enjoyed!
It is amazing how the heron can keep its balance in that position and how strong its claws must be. If you look closely at the pictures, you realize that only two claws keep it on the branch. Very nice sequence on a sustainable fisherman.
Yes, it is, Hans! I’ve seen them do this before in similarly precarious positions, half expecting the bird to fall. And all that work for such a little snack.
Faster than a speeding camera shutter!

You bet, Paz! Some day I’ll get one with his head in the water.
Wonderful series, Ellen!
Thank you, Belinda!
