Poised...
A green heron poised and ready to strike to at a small fish. There was a nest with three chicks about 10-15 feet above and to the right of where this parent was fishing - no doubt getting goodies for its hungry and rapidly growing brood. There was also a rather large alligator trolling the waters, waiting for an unsuspecting prey to venture too close to those hungry jaws. The alligator made its presence known by bellowing loudly almost every time I went to view the progress of the nests, eggs and chicks.
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
