Great Blue Herons, July 2, 2016

Saturday's Critters, Camera Critters, I'd Rather B Birdin', and Saturday's Silhouettes

Our birding trip to Pickwick was rained out on Monday, so we went again on Wednesday.
Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, June 29, 2016
The Herons were very active, swooping around and splashing down to grab fish for their lunch.

That's a keeper!

And down it goes!

Have a Wonderful Week-End!

  6. I most certainly love GBH!! And your images are tops. The fish 'going down'...excellent. And the silhouette of it on the spillway is extraordinary.

  8. Thats a decent sized fish! I wonder if they can eat so much fish that they can no longer fly?!

    1. After eating a big fish, I know I would need to just lay down and take a nap!
