Heron Taking Notice - a photo on Flickriver

            Another variation of the heron portrait for this week, I wanted to include this shot of when the heron started to really assess me as a threat again. It had been trying to chow down on some fish while I was creeping up on it. It noticed me a couple of times, but I tried to freeze when it did.

As I said before, once it dropped the fish, I realized that there wasn't anything really keeping it there anymore so I increased my shoot rate and threw caution somewhat to the wind. In this shot, the heron froze, extended its neck a bit further and looked me dead in the eye. I knew that I had pushed it a little too far, but I was already expecting it to flee 20 or 30 shots back. I didn't expect it to stay a little while longer.
