Photos taken at a pond/nature preserve about a half mile from my home in Mundelein, IL.
There are several Blue and White Herons that feed at this locations. The preserve has an
abundance of "pan fish", Blue Gills, Sun Fish and small Small Mouth Bass.
I waited patiently for an hour, watching as this Blue Heron hunted for a meal. In all he
caught and ate 4 fish in the hour that I followed him.

Patiently and quietly waiting

Breakfast

I watched this Blue Heron patiently this morning for an hour, as it slowly paced back and forth searching for breakfast. Caught him as he just plucks out his first prize.

Thanks Ann! You will get it some day. Takes lots of patience and "stalking" these beautiful creatures from a distance and long lens! I will be watching for your shot to show up in your album soon :)

Waving Goodbye

One of my final photographs of this Blue Heron, after following it around our neighborhood as it hunted for food. It's morning breakfast consisted of three fish over the course of an hour.
