Larry, if you watch the WildEarth channel you will see plenty of that.
Man is just as bad but nowadays the prey animals & birds are (hopefully)
killed in a more civilized fashion. I wonder how many people realise
that a juicy steak was once part of a living animal? Then we have the

Funny, all the unsolicited reels offered to me on instagram are about
cats and dogs which are so cosy with each other, as well as wild animals
befriended with people.
My late dog was always ready to fight with cats, wheras animals in our
local nature usually do not appreciate my presence.
There is a very impressive account on Instagram called nature_is_metal which is
a collection of videos and photos of things happening in nature that do not
give you the warm fuzzies.

Very nice! I think Herons make great subjects because of their alertness and
the way they pause (to look for prey) rather than being in continuous motion.
It’s always nice to see images of these impressive birds,

JOhn and Joseph...
Just for the record, these guys you both shot are Great Blue Herons...
even though, as we all can see, they have more
gray than blue...
One of my favorite big birds...
Joseph, I like that bottom one better --- book-end effect of birdies

Hi Ann
Good to here you back, are you sure they're Great Bluie Herons? All the
information I have points to grey. Maybe it's a geographical thing. Thanks for
the comments, I went back yesterday but only got a fleeting glance of the
Heron. I was really looking to
/4's etc as well.

Looks like a great place for a photowalk. Nice capture. Is that really
a DA*300? I expected a more creamy bokeh (the double out of focus
twigs in the background).

Looks like both you and the heron had a good time. :-)
Good pose, but the cattail crossing the beak distracts me a bit.
The light and contrast is a bit hard as it often is at this time of
year. Hope you have detail in the bog-bean flowers that is lost on my
crappy laptop monitor. The flowers add
Nice shot and the bird is positioned well, but that bit of bull rush

Very interesting John, but a little busy for my taste - too much in
focus and too strong foreground. Shows the bird and the place, I´d like
more of the bird. Not that it´s easy as talking about it...
