Never seen a GBH high-dive like that but quite a meal it came up with. Great series!

A fine story series. I should have such skill taking pictures, or fishing.

thank you. It was partially luck and partially just understanding the bird. I could see it perched up on that branch and new that it was getting ready to feed, so I just focused on it, put the camera in burst and waited patiently for the right moment. Luckily, everything just came together.

Thanks Jim. I love blue herons as well. They are a fascinating bird to watch.
