all creatures great and small
That wasn't the only time I watched this cormorant (in the back ground) dive down at this exact spot in front of this fallen branch, and come up on the other side with a fish in it's mouth. I tried to anticipate where it would come up to get a nice shot of it, but my guess would have had to have been perfect, and it was far from it. Oh well the shots of this great blue heron were definitely nothing to sneeze at.
I had attracted quite a crowd from time to time, as many folks pointed out to other people how long I had been there (about 45 minutes), and they wanted to see what I was so intent on capturing with my fancy equipment. I tried giving one girl the exposure settings I was using so she could capture a good shot of it too, but she told me she was using her cellphone and she couldn't adjust the settings. Too bad, a great moment like this one might not come along again for quite some time.
