Great Blue Heron Grabs a Bite!- You Tube Thursdays

A poet and you don't know it... Richie Alan Naggar !

Kristin Johnston, Waukesha Realtor 414-254-6647 he's made me very happy offering up opportunities to videotape and photograph him! 

Mike Rock oh, beautifully put! And I discovered that it WAS a dragonfly, but didn't know until I downloaded it. 

Endre Barath, Jr. such unelegant sounds from such a lovely looking and flowing bird! Dragonfly, yes, flying object. 

Endre Barath, Jr. he came by the other day, landed right next door, with a big ole fish in his mouth and by the time I had raced into the other grabbed my camera and raced back (maybe 10-15 secs, tops) he had already eaten it. First time I've ever seen this! (And I've been lakefront for 5 years). 

Oh, Amanda S. Davidson the wildlife ABOUNDS out here. I keep finding new birds. 

Without my camera mentor Dick Greenberg , I would never have been able to fulfill one of my dreams--to get photos of these elusive characters on the lake and now to have captured video of him feeding, along with the sounds of the other birds AND fish jumping behind him--except for your smarts and techie camera knowledge and guidance as a friend. Forever grateful, buddy!

Debb Janes I'm just doing my level best to capture absolutely as much as I can before leaving my venue for the ranch. So happy that you have YouTube Thursdays to give me a place to show my stuff. 

See you in a week! 

Joanna Cohlan I am stealing these last moments for myself, holding onto to them with great and simple pleasure because my life in this place is about to change and I am marking it down daily, visually. Yes, it took a bit for him to "come up with something" other than his standing countenance, and if I knew how to edit, I certainly felt the need to speed things up, but alas I'm still quite the novice at this. Once life settles a bit "on the ranch", come winter I may find those times to cut and splice to make that moment come a bit faster! (You are so funny to tell me in your quick-witted way how you were feeling! Just love ya for that!)

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I was told by a Native American woman that they represent Patience. I've seen them often as-of-late. And the message isn't lost on me!

Kathleen Daniels yes! A dragonfly--and they are really fast, so this heron was obviously snatching pretty quickly. I had no idea, thought they mainly ate fish. Who knew? I felt pretty blessed to have captured this moment. I was easily 50 yards away, I'd say. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel the heron. Not surprised about the cat energy. I have been drawing lots of bird energy as-of-late. And the cat eats birds, oops! 

Ed Silva yes, VERY intense. I figured it would be something in the water he'd get, not something in the air!
