Green Heron

Definitely a lean and hungry look.
-
Ready to jump. The reds on the bird's legs play well with the green environment.
Well seen.

He might jump from there, Francois but more likely he would just lean forward and extend his neck to 2 1/2 times the length you see in the original image and make the stab. It's breeding season which makes them much easier to spot. Normally, in a setting like this, the Heron will pretty much just blend in with its surroundings which makes them formidable hunters. In this shooting sequence, he did make a jump.

Really fine heron. I also like the clumps of seeds on the sedges, if that's what they are.

Those are Apple Snail eggs. The adult snails are very much favored by Purple Gallinules, Apple Snail Hawks and Limpkins though we only get the Gallinules up this way.

Thanks for the explanations. Herons do the same (stabbing), we have a lot of grey herons around here.

Cool! Thanks, Chris.
