Poised and Alert

On a brief visit to Delta Ponds this afternoon, I didn't see anything out of the usual inhabitants. Of course, among my favorites are the Great Blue Herons. Even though the waters are low, the herons find the fish. This one was stalking along the shore where the water was low and filled with water plants. Look at its eye! It evidently spots something. I liked the lighting and the colors, another shot to add to my heron collection.
