Drive by Shooting...

I got to go riding around awhile today before I start my medicine for tomorrow then I'll have to stay pretty close to "home".
The ones of the heron would have been better but I shot it out of the car and right into the sun. When I first drove by the pond it was down in the water and I thought it was a duck with something. I stopped, backed up, and seen what it was grabbed the camera and fired off a couple before this guy came up behind me in a RV. By the time I got pulled out of the way and across the road he flew off with his fish. He didn't have any problem flying with it even though it was pretty good size.

Holy moly those are great! The first is a Least Bittern, How cool! And that fish is huge, wish the Heron wouldv'e stuck around long enough for a chrono of him eating it, would have been interesting!! Like that pine too!

I think that Bird on a wire is very cool...there's a simple delicacy about it. I love the angle of the wire as it cuts across the image with the bird as the punctuation mark....again very cool
