I had a great view looking down on this Green Heron as he hunted at the edge of a duckweed covered pond.
Slowly…
… then the plunge…
This time he came up empty.
Not to worry, there was plenty of prey beneath that duckweed and after more patient watching for movement he would try again.

What an outstanding sequence, Ellen!! 🤗
Thanks, Carol! Everything came together with the light and my position and I’m always amazed at their feather colors.
