They're baa-aaccck!! The herons were back at the bay today! There were about 8 of them but most were too far to get a good picture. This guy was doing the heron thing - perched motionless for several minutes until he'd lunge. Over and over...sometimes he got something, sometimes just a piece of grass. So I sat on the ground and waited, perched with camera to eye, patiently. I didn't get the lunge this time because it was behind the grass, but he came up with a crab. The following two of the continuous shots show the crab making its progress up the beak and gone!

Very nice picture. Well done for being patient!
Nice grab Buff.
These lads are pretty cool.
Patience pays off! I can't imagine eating whole crab. What would the digestive system do with that? I should have thought a bit of knocking it on a rock or something might have helped!
Great shot. I'm usually not that patient, but patience indeed pay off.
Your heron is lovely. Reminds me of a watercolor. Your are lucky to live in an areas that offers such varied photo ops, and you are blessed with such a good eye.
Very nice shot!
Man I wish I lived somewhere I could shoot a Heron! With a camera Buff, with a camera! :)
Lovely nature shot. And the presentation is perfect. Love the evenness of the lighting.
Perfect composition and what a great capture! It does look like a watercolor painting.
Fantastic shot! I've tried a couple of times to get this one, and haven't got one I like yet. I like it...Good work!
I think this is my favorite shot of the month so far!
