I found the green heron stalking a fish
like his bigger cousin, the great blue heron, this smaller heron was lightening fast
he has a minnow in his bill, just above the splash of water droplets

elegant attire
besides being brilliantly attired, the small green heron is one of a very few tool-using birds
it drops sticks, leaves, insects, worms and even found bread crumbs on the water’s surface to lure fish into reach
the green heron is only with us for the spring through late summer – here to breed and raise young

rescue
this afternoon a couple of people who didn’t know each other, worked together to rescue this horned grebe. There was fishing line around its neck, it has swallowed the hook and was dragging a bobber behind it. The grebe was transported to http://www.nc-claws.org/index.php/blog – a non-profit wildlife rehab facility. You can see the grebe and follow its progress on their Facebook page CLAWS, Inc. If you would like to make a donation to help the grebe, please go to the CLAWS web site or Facebook page.

eagle catch
I had seen gull feathers in eagle’s nests
this morning was the first time I saw an eagle flying with a gull it had caught
the shot is a long one for my lens so the focus is a bit soft, but I wanted to share this event anyway
