Take A Flying Leap!

I watched this heron as it fished among the rocks below a dam. Here it is leaping from one rock to another.
I also got a shot of it with a fish in its beak, and will post that one soon.

An excellent catch of this elegant bird, Vern, you're definitely Mr. Heron Whisperer.
Almost a ballet dancer leap.
