Two days in a row this Little Green Heron has been kind enough to pose in the same spot, at the same time. This is one of the feeding sequences I have caught in the last two days. Not as clean a "flip" as I'd like, but ....
The initial spearing of the fish was back to us, so I picked this up about 4 frames into the sequence.
The Spear - one impaled little fishy....
At this point the bird started shaking its beak, trying to dislodge the fish. Notice the 16 frame gap, for the math impaired :wink: that is 2 seconds at 8 fps :lol: .
Dislodge and Launch!
The Catch...
And then the Bonus Bird, a Sora. The light was really going away quickly and the bird was under cover, but he came out just far enough for this one.
Late in the Day Sora...
We were only about 30 feet or so away from these birds, I'll be posting more "Little Green Heron with an Attitude" shots over the next couple of days.
Off early in the AM, hoping the Kingfisher really does come closer....
