The Hunt
Green Heron falling easy prey to the Sigma 50-500mm, after he landed literally 10 yards away from me. Got images of him catching three fish and a dragonfly. I have been stalking this guy for over a year now, finally got a few keepers. Taken with Nikon D300 and Sigma 50-500mm.

You must be very patient! this is a great capture – well done getting the full reflection too!
Andy Mueller replied
Funny, I am generally NOT patient at all. For the right shot I think I could hold out for days. Thank you, yes I love the reflections as well.
Angel Perry
Fantastic reflection! Lucky you! I have never had the chance to chase one of these… but Im pretty sure I will continue to get feat and feathers! Well done Andy!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Angel.

“Fire…Fire….Fire”
Andy Mueller replied
Days I tell you … I just came out of the bush long enough to snap 3400 pictures at the airshow, then right back into position.

Time and effort paid off Andy. This one’s a winner for sure. Wonderful clarity and you’ve really captured the “hunter’s look” on ‘im.
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much Kurt, yes I think it paid off as well. Nice that others appear to think so as well.

Andy, this is such a gorgeous reflective capture of the Green Heron. We were lucky enough to come across a couple of these little guys when we were in Florida, they are so pretty with all their colorful feathers….(I have a shot or two uploaded here on RB but have yet to open them to the public). Take Care ~ Deb ~ :)
