Great Blue Heron Fishing

The other day at a marsh area not far from our house we happened upon this heron fishing.  He had just landed on this muddy bank and caught a fish.
He needed to get the fish just right for feeding.

It looks like he was washing it off, now who would want a muddy fish?

He is getting it positioned.
He got it in his gullet.

Now how satisfying was that?

Time to take a little stroll in the pond.

Is it time to look for another catch?

They are such fun to watch! I haven't seem many this year and it is frustrating. I don't know where they moved...further up the river, I guess. You got a nice sequence of photos of his fishing activity.
