20180826 2528 SERIES - Green Heron.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images of a Green Heron entitled "THE BIG STRETCH"

Top Image:Foraging for food along the rocky shore. Note, the short compressed neck.


Spotted something and is ready to pounce, with the neck only slightly elongated.


Then a sudden spear-like strike. Look at that long thin neck now. Unfortunately, this time it was for naught as the Heron came up empty.

1/1000s f/8.0 at 700.0mm iso320 full exif

intriguing sequence...as the neck gets longer, so the reflections get richer..
