Good Spot For Fishing?

Due to all the rain we have been getting, the water flowing through Delta Ponds is a little rough in places, where it goes through flood gates or culverts, between some of the ponds. I imagine this makes it tough for the large birds to fish. But that didn't stop this Great Egret from trying. But maybe this is a good spot for fishing! Again, I got caught in a downpour. oh well, it's Oregon. :)

Wow, it's really working hard on finding a meal.

This scene looks like it should be a bear fishing for salmon, one would not expect to see an Egret there. The capture of the rushing water is perfect!

Maybe it thinks it's a bear and is waiting for the salmon to swim upstream! LOL! Great capture of that waiting stance. Voted.

the relatively calm spot just out of the main flow should be good for tired fish...what energy in the river, and tension in the hunter..

In this water the fish shure is fresh.

Is this what egrets call "Fast Food"?

Looks a bit wild out there, but the fishing must be good.

If there is something to be caught, I'm sure he'll find it! Lovely image, and I like the look of rapt attention you've captured.
