Caught on the Fly

Little Green Heron at Zilker Park in Austin. His "catch" happened so fast, I wasn't even aware he caught anything until I processed the photo.

Awesome, Val. This should be in a bird book as it shows this birds habits and preferred feeding grounds. The detail is spot on - ditto on the colors. Great work! #1802816Bojan Bencic July 05, 2023
