Little Blue Herons are not plentiful where I go. When you do find them they are quite shy and never get excited or chase/fight with others - they happily tend to their own business. This particular mature one nabbed 3 Crawfish ? in about 20 minutes from a shallow pool that I watched in early mourning low light - the first time I have seen this !

Canon 80D, Canon 400 prime, 1/1000, f5.6, ISO 1600 from monopod with a medium crop.

Thanks in advance for stopping by and to comment ! .....Larry

Thanks for a great picture. LBH are always careful to stay away from people. This one almost looks like a bit too much color saturation vs all I have photographed. But, still 'great'.

Thanks to all so far for commenting. I PP'd this image on a different computer and monitor from what I normally use - and I am now convinced THAT monitor is OFF some. So, I will changing that monitor ! ........

The LBH colors are usually fairly muted, but I did try to make them stand out a bit .....as they can be quite nice in the right light - as was not the case here ......

Gary, excellent photo and if you get a chance eat some yourself. I used to go to a little resturant around a WMA I hunted and would have a plate full every trip there. The WMA is called Three Lakes.
