I was working out in the back yard all day and just for this reason, I always keep a camera close and at the ready

This little Tri-Colored Heron was fishing in the shallows and I'm thinking because he was used to me being out there working, he wasnt even worried about my lens pointed at him

I'm not positive of this, but after awhile of watching him fish, I noticed that if the sun was at his back, he'd lift his wings like this to create a shadow. He'd then snap some fish out right where the wings would create the shadow. Sort of a neat thing to watch

And then my catch of the day. I was pretty excited to snag this shot. I love the intensity in his eyes and the fact that you can see his beak/bill under the water
