I see this often at the Everglades National Park. Indeed they use the method you have described. They have a lot of patience and they are excellent fishermen.
Great series and the images are tack sharp.

Thanks, I will get one of those if I buy the 200-500 !
I will post my Herron picture just as a Test, it was not planned at the time and it was taken with a 28mm, cropped a lot and transferred from iPhoto to Aperture to Lightroom, I may have left another transfer off, LOL
As a result it is about 750kb.

We went to our local state park today, and saw this heron finally get a fish after 4 unsuccessful tries. As you can see, he first spears it, then pushes it off his beak with his tongue. He then flips it in the air, catches it and finally swallows it.
Please see download for detail. Thanks for viewing!
I included a severe crop as a last photo to kind of show it from the fish's perspective.

This is a to die for series! Each is sharp and clear, well composed and so outstanding. These guys are experts. The fish doesn't have a chance!
