This Tri-Colored heron was one of those that sits above the deeper water then swoops down grabbing minnows in flight. Seems to consume a WHOLE LOT OF ENERGY fishing this way as opposed to wading the shallows.
Would have preferred the next frame of the sequence only it moved so fast I missed the head.
Congrats to all the Feb Finalists !!!!
