Green Heron

I've
watched this bird many, many times, as he feeds in the small marsh pond
here. It's incredible to see how accurately this bird can strike into
through the thick green duck weed on the pond. Here, he has just caught
a small fish for breakfast, but within a few short seconds was back
at the task at hand again. Taken in Clayton County, Georgia. (Butorides viroscens).
