On to the next bite
Another successful dive
The fish went down
But how to get rid of the garnish
Dunk and swish

Great Egret Getting Lunch
I love to watch this scenario, especially when a reflection is involved.
Lunch is small bites
Hold on tight so it doesn’t escape
One quick flip
Next!
Tricolored Heron Soaking
Young Great Blue Heron Practice Stalking
The bird from my post Young Great Blue Heron Stalking Lunch continued his stalking practice after dropping the stick.
He was in the shade at the edge of a pond with reflection of trees on the other side creating a dreamy look.
He poked at the water a few times, but I didn’t see any serious attempts to catch anything.
Mirror, mirror in the water…
…I wonder what he sees.
Mallard Drake, Floating Along
I can’t resist taking images of Mallards, especially when a reflection might be involved.
This one didn’t have much to do, he slowly drifted from the shade of an overhanging tree out into the sunshine.
Yellow Iris with White Bridge
Iris are another flower that has performed spectacularly this spring.
The pond was covered in floating debris, including late falling leaves and oak tassels.

Snowy Egret After The Bath
After his bath the Snowy Egret sunk down into the water again and just sat there.
He made some ripples when he stood up, which created a disconnected head reflection.
I moved on, glancing back for one more look. The Egret was looking pretty spiffy.
Snowy Egret Bath
I first spotted this Snowy Egret sitting low in the water.
As I expected, he dunked.
Then gave a big shake.
A couple minutes later he did it again.
Garden Pond Scene
There were lots of reflections and a bit of color in the main garden pond at Magnolia Plantation last week. The Long White Bridge is to the left, and didn’t make much of a picture when I passed by this day.
