Description

D7000 Tamron18-270@170mm ISO 1600 f-6 SS/1600 Pol/lens

This Tri-Colored heron was one of those that sits above the deeper water then swoops down grabbing minnows in flight. Seems to consume a WHOLE LOT OF ENERGY fishing this way as opposed to wading the shallows.
Would have preferred the next frame of the sequence only it moved so fast I missed the head.
Congrats to all the Feb Finalists !!!!

Exif: F Number: 6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1600, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 170.00 mm, Model: NIKON D7000
