Little Blue Heron Hunting
A Common Gallinule stood on a lump of vegetation, creating a near perfect reflection.
Until a Little Blue Heron flew in and the Gallinule moved on.
The Little Blue was in hot pursuit…
…of a dragonfly.

Little Blue Heron, Hunting
The light made this pond appear a shade of blue that matched the Little Blue Heron that was patiently hunting.
Little Blues make very precise water strikes when they fish, making a delicate splash.
And a water ripples.
No luck that time, back to patiently watching.

Little Blue Heron, Frog For Lunch
I did not see the Little Blue Heron snag this frog but when he moved out into the water to rinse his catch off I was in the right spot.
First a dunk and a swirl…
…flip the frog over…
…a few squeezes to rearrange…
…and down it went.
…with one gulp.

Little Blue Heron, End of Day
A Little Blue Heron landed on a fallen branch at the edge of Ravenswood Pond as the sun was going down. The pond is covered with a mixture of mosquito fern and duck weed.
The heron stayed put as I passed by and I was able to get an image from a different angle.
