He’s in the water here, but failed to make the grab.
This is a sequence taken a bit later of the Green Heron that was on the old board floating in the water. Since the tides were extremely high he was not have much luck hunting. He jumped over to the riprap near the pier and was doing a bit of fishing for there. Once they commit to diving completely into the water, the photographer had better be prepared for some extremely quick moves as they spend very little time in the water. He did this about 4 or 5 times and had little success, but it never stopped him from trying. They will literally do anything to catch a fish.
I will just add that I only wish I could capture the moment of impact, but this is like trying to capture a snake strike as it happens so quickly.
