20130723 382 SERIES - Green Heron.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of a Green Heron about to take off and landing a short distance away. (I missed the in between shots.) The agitated Heron was in pursuit of another Heron that was hunting close by. There were four Green Herons in and around a small pond at the time. They seemed to be after Red-winged Blackbird nests in the low bushes.

Top Image; Getting set.

A screaming landing.

Two great captures Hank? I'm assuming these herons will eat the Red Wing Blackbird eggs or babies?

Good shooting Hank; but a green heron? - amidst the foliage one wonders :-)
