They are cool to watch. Ours are a bit skittish, but there's one I can get within shooting distance. #10208666Monnie Ryan July 01, 2012
Perfectly beautiful, and perfect for TKW Day! #10208686Linda Sandbo July 01, 2012
Great shot!!!! and I guess I'll ask.. what does TKW represent???????? #10208722Mary K. Robison July 01, 2012
Jeff, I've never seen a heron stalking in "deep" water until now. Guess this one's intense stare is locking onto a fish very close to him. That long neck must come in handy!Deborah Lewinson July 01, 2012
Outstanding comp and story telling, Jeff, unique and beautiful capture!Debby #10208766

Really unique view and capture, Jeff. I was watching an educational video about GBHs yesterday. They weight (surprisingly) only 5 to 8 pounds and can easily eat their weight every day. #10209306Lynn M. Whitt July 01, 2012

Great capture Jeff and I can see why he can catch more fish than man...his eyes are sharp, his beak is sharp and he stands in the water on sharp talons...man can't beat that! :-) #10211331Daniella Puente July 02, 2012
