Green heron (I think)

[daodang]

Met last sunday late afternoon in Montreal Botanical Gardens. It was an heavy overcast day.

I followed him for almost an hour before he decided to fish. Right at the moment he catched his prey, there was a sun breakthrough illuminating him. Tell me about luck :wink:

It was very instructive to see him using his tongue to get the fish out of his beak.

Beautiful photos. I think this guy doesn't mind going so north because he knows he can get great portraits from you. :smile:

Phil, thank a lot for your kind words.
If the birds can hear you, I will be a happy camper since it will save me a lot of walking and searching.:smile:
