Spooky Water
This Green Heron was hunting along the lake edge and spotted something in the water. Whatever was in the water spotted the heron, too, because it swelled up (figuratively and literally) and scared the little fella. We don't have gators in Kentucky so it had to be a fish. I never actually saw what it was, but I'm guessing the heron spooked a carp or a catfish in the shallows. Or maybe a big catfish was trying for a bird breakfast.

Gettin' Low
This Green Heron was preening itself when it saw something in the water and decided to get lower and investigate. Whatever is was, it either left or the heron wasn't interested.

Stumped
I followed this Green Heron as it was hunting along the water's edge. After being unsuccessful in its quest for food, it flew to this stump giving me an opportunity for a few nice shots.

Hide And Seek
For only the second time, I recently managed to photograph a Green Heron. I saw him fly from the edge of the lake into a tree in the middle of a small cove. Each time I moved to try to get a clear photo, the heron would move and try to hide behind a branch. Just my luck I found a heron with a sense of humor. We played the hide and seek game for a few minutes until I decided it was as good as it was going to get.

Two Firsts
This little fella had the distinction of being the first and only Green Heron I've photographed to date. In fact, it was the first one I had ever seen. One bird, two firsts. They are widespread in Kentucky, but rather elusive. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and paying attention, albeit I was very surprised. The heron stuck around for no more than five minutes and then disappeared.
