'All In a Day's Work'

Yesterday we were at the Sony Bono Wildlife Reserve, Westmoreland, CA just for a few minutes. I saw a large Blue Heron fly into a congested canal so I thought if I go quickly he won’t see me and I’ll get a good 'shot'. This was about 60 feet away. I started taking photos and couldn’t believe what I saw. He had caught a fish and was trying to get it’s head down so he could swallow it and it kept moving to get away to live.
Then I was ready to quit when it dropped out of it’s mouth and you’ll see the splash at the bottom. Then he was disgusted and flew away. I probably distracted it and couldn’t get it ready to swallow and fortunate for the fish it fell back into the water.
It was another reminder to always take your camera!
"If you think you can you will, if you think you can't you won't. In either case you're right."
