Heron Harassment

The stream in Alton Baker Park is planted with fish on Thursdays by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. So today was a good day for fishing. The herons were out trying to steal fish from those fishing there. These two got into a little dispute over territory and fish..

Everything is perfect for this "story". The background is dark and not overwhelming, the subjects are light and airy in the foreground and all this together makes the viewer wonder what the "discussion" is about and how it will end!

Amazing color and clarity, not to mention a perfect moment to catch them "talking" ~BV~
