    you're totally rubbing it in, now. another i've never seen in person. :) loved the video. they are such active hunters. unlike the great blue heron and great egret that stand so stoically, these run around and try to scare up their food. so beautiful.

    Oh my - you really beheld some beauty in these photos - I really like them all, but especially the one with the water drops all around him. The video was cool too.

    I didn't get the video, not sure why. I like the 4th shot with a reflection and the bird so symmetrical.

    I like your pictures. I don't really have time to watch videos as I like to keep going to comment on other bloggers. I am sure video it is nice though.

    Interesting bird. They confused me as a new birders for several years as they used to be called Louisiana Herons. There name change came about as they spread along the Gulf Coast and even north to the Carolinas along the Atlantic....:)

    Hi Linda! That water is so clear! I wonder what this bird is eating in the video? It looks like he is pecking at the silt...are there little clams under there?

    I love the shot with the feet breaking the water, with the mirror image showing in the water too. You do such interesting work my friend!

    Yay! You got video. That's exactly how the one I saw was fishing--kinda spastic. :) Love the shots with the water splashes.

    I never realized how many different kinds of Heron's there are in Florida...each one you have captured in their full beauty.
