Stalking Its Prey!

Lest you forget about my fondness for the Great Blue Heron I thought I would post this photo shot in one of my favorite haunts, Delta Ponds. The heron is intent on stalking the fish there. It had just caught one when I walked up to the spot. I waited a little while but it didn't get one. I am sure that when I walked away it probably speared a nice one! Oh well, maybe next time.
