As I walked Greenfield Park this morning I came across a juvenile Great Blue Heron. The heron was walking through a weedy area out about 25 feet from shore. It moved slowly through the weeds catching a few fish and missing a few too. It was a warm morning and only going to get hotter with mostly sunny skies and little wind. Images were taken on August 24, 2021.
Hunting in the weeds listening and waiting for the next chance to catch a fish…
A try and a miss…
A nice catch here…
On its feet, so silent moving through the weeds listening and watching for something to catch and eat….
Such a beautiful bird…
Getting low in the water, it must see something ahead…
Just a nice pose…
Attack mode…
Another nice catch!
Moving into some deeper water here as there must be something ahead…
And another…
