Great Blue Heron at Great Crossing Dam

Several years ago I had good luck photographing a Great Blue Heron fishing in the turbulence under a small dam on a large stream here in Kentucky.

That heron was literally on its last good leg but continued to fish until one day it wasn't there anymore...

Went back today to the same spot and a new bird is there. Got some wonderful opportunities, including a series of flight shots from one bank to the other the length of the dam! Haven't worked any of them up yet, but thought I'd go ahead and put this one out.

Here is one of the recent shots as the heron flew the length of the dam.
