coy?
If ever the term “coy” or maybe “shy” or “bemused” could be applied to a great blue heron – who is usually bossy, raucous, grumpy and noisy –
perhaps this candid shot would be my chance.

eagle family report: Kate’s struggle
there is a SLIDE show of the photographed sequence at http://youtu.be/fkGr5Vf1Hx4
I heard Kate’s angry scream as I stepped from my truck and I grabbed my camera and ran for the bluff.
Kate was being bounced by the gusty wind as if she were a wee chickadee and she was angry.
I didn’t stop to put the camera on the tripod – I just photographed Kate’s struggle.
Kate finally made it to the nest only to be met by Wynd on the left and Ice on the right.
Both of whom end up under her and Kate drops the fish and bails out to the left.
