Hard to believe they can get a fish down that gullet.
Elegance. Like a top model bird!
He looks like he's built for grabing fish out of the water. Nice photo.
In solitaire, poised for that exact moment to grab a game! Very nice.
That is amazing animal. Whish I was there with my camera to :)
Nice shot!
Dramatic!
That is pure drama! This guy is so regal and alert! Beautiful!
Super shot...excellent capture...what a moment! Lovely.
Fascinating animals those birds! I wouldn't want to come close to one that is angry.
That's amazing!
Great capture! They have such improbably long necks, quite amazing really.
PS The loon just ignored me, hanging around until he was ready and then diving again. It really was something special.
The heron looks as though he's posing for you. I love the texture of the water as it rushes by.
Calico Contemplations
Great shot! I see from your profile you went from S. Bend to southern Indiana. I went the other way, from Evansville to Indy to South Bend.
Aileni's comment was hilarious! But I do wonder... Great post!
May be they just go for the small fry! A wonderful shot before he saw something tiny?
