Green Heron

Green Heron
Green Heron - Curaçao.

"Green herons are one of the few species of animal known to use tools. In particular, they commonly use bread crusts, insects, or other items as bait. The bait is dropped onto the surface of a body of water in order to lure fish. When a fish takes the bait, the green heron will then grab and eat the fish."

Not only is the information superb and well present but the photo is near-perfect. The details are in perfect focus and the bird nicely presented against a natural background. All too often bird photos look like they were staged but this does not. An excellent photo IMO.

Thank you, Barbara. I used a DSLR for this shot, but I have taken plenty of good shots with my point and shoot. Keep shooting.
