That is a fantastic image! I love shooting BIF, especially herons and I get bummed out when they migrate away each fall.

Amazing shot! Love the details and the tip's cutting through the surface. Was it an onetime cutting or did he this more than once?

Thanks for the props! This bird is a year round resident of a coastal lagoon. And every morning around 8:30 he takes off and makes his rounds,
