While looking for the Least Bittern, I found a Green Heron across the lake
and it flew directly at me landing lass than 10 feet away in some very thick brush, so,
I guess it thought (if it could) that it was hid from me, or maybe it didn't see me standing behind camera not moving a mussel.
***********************************************************
Here is where it was just before flying in next to me.
It was very close to the Least Bittern.
I had no sooner clicked the shuter and it took off flying directly at me landing less than 10 feet away in some brush.
********************************************************
As you can see it is looking directly at me not knowing just what to do,
I thought for sure it would take off and go some where else.
I didn't move, it didn't move.
*****************************************************************
I think a fish has caught its eye, at lest it is no longer interested in my being so close.
**********************************************
OH, OH, I think it going to try for a fish.
**************************************************
I told you so, it got one.
*************************************************
Just in case you can't see the fish I have put an arrow pointing to it.
Looks like a minnow to, better throw it back and let it grow up Mr. Heron.
*******************************************
I didn't and it kept on fish'n foe all the time Iwas there about 30 minutes or so.
