This weekend's photo walk was to Mud Lake (one of my favourite local birding spots). My Photo buddy (Jennie) and I were hoping to see a few migrating warblers or if we were really lucky a Great Horned Owl. Mostly we were hoping to see something to point our cameras at:) . The birds were really quiet and I was starting to think we wouldn't see much in this particular trip but then we spotted the Great Blue Herron fishing! We sat and watched as he watched and waited. They are patient hunters. It wasn't long before he spotted his prey and went in for the strike! I have a total fascination with these birds and was happy to have captured this.
