The Great Blue Heron I was photographing with the Azalea color also entertained me with a fish nab.
Waved it around a bit…

Fantastic Ellen, I’ve never been able to see how a heron harpoons a fish, what a force!
Thanks, Hans! Yes with force, and very fast!
Wonderful sequence of photos!
Thanks, Belinda!
These are great! the toss shot made me smile!
Thanks, Liz, I do kind of cheer for them when they fish! I’ve occasionally seen a fish get dropped at this stage, but the bird takes it in stride and often retrieves it.
Perfect series, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna, always fun to watch 😉
