The little blue heron is an amazing hunter. It wades in the shallows and peers into the water, looking for prey. When
a likely candidate is selected, it goes into strike mode, moving its head back and forth to triangulate the position and
then with a lightning fast strike - the fish is in the beak. I am always amazed as the plume of water pops up into the
air at the moment of capture, so I have re-created this exact moment and held the water in suspension forever.
