Great Blue Heron

Great blue herons fish in both the night and the day, with most of their activity occurring around dawn and dusk. It's amazing their sharp "spear like" bills are used to catch their food, like this little guy :)

Awesome capture. Seems like they would have problems getting that fish off, but guess they can use those long legs and claws to pull it off.

@365projectorgjoworboys - thanks Jo - serendipity certainly has a lot to do with it - but when I noticed this bird on the banks of the pond, I knew he was looking for lunch - it was just a matter of waiting for the right moment :)
