Sudden strike came too fast for me.
'Whole lotta shakin' goin' on!' (with nictitating membrane protecting eye).
Mud mostly gone, time for the swallow.
Big gulp. Fish gone.
Time to move on. Field guide does say birds can become tame near boat ramps. Not usually quite so forward as this one!

That last photo is humorous.
Just what I thought too. Glad you agree, Andy.
Hi Tony
A great sequence of images, but I also love the last one.

Wonderful pics! Herons are great birds. Obviously a bit cheeky too.
These birds are amazing! I just saw this very same species a couple of weeks ago near Panama City, Panama.
Hi JSK: Thanks, they sure are.
Hi JAaAndG: Several species look similar: guess its partly convergent evolution.
