Green Heron at Springbrook

Further along in our trek through Springbrook on the Prairie Hiking Trail we approached the floating boardwalk that traverses the pond at the west end of the park, there we seen some folks taking photos and they were nice enough to point out a Green Heron. So we stopped a while and watched to see if we could catch this green heron in action. Well after 15 minutes, we were able to catch the green heron in action as he caught a fish and swallowed it.




We were excited to get some action shots we stayed a bit longer till we finally decided to move on.

This is a flat out really neat sequence. Green herons are naturally secretive and not that easy to photograph. Way to go!

We were pleasantly surprised to witness it ourselves, since we were about to start moving on.

Thanks Lynne, we had to wait a while, but it paid off to be patient.
