Lots of rain? She has a surprised look on her face. Competitive maybe, ha ha. Linda S

Very very priceless shot! Why fish with a pole when you have a beak! Did it snatch any fish from the fishermen?

What a neat find! I like how the heron is paying more attention that the young man.

Fantastic shot Vern. Not often do you see a heron so close to people.

Lol, that's great, but I think this one will be no competition! :-)

The guy on the right is smart to take his cues from the Heron : )
Wonderful catch where timing is everything!
