Like a ninja assassin, the Green Heron (Butorides virescens) moved slowly and stealthily forward, completely focused on an unseen prey. I watched and waited. After what seemed like an eternity, the heron relaxed. Whatever had attracted its attention was gone.
The heron was left empty-handed. Fortunately, I was more lucky and departed with this cool portrait of him in his natural environment.
