Sticking the Landing

Bird watching has always captured my attention, some birds more than others. One bird I always enjoy watching is the Green Heron, who has such wonderful balance as they fish. Flying quickly and erratically, they are also fun to watch as they land. Here are some images I captured of a Green Heron from my kayak at a local Missouri Conservation Area:

Here is the sequence shot as the bird approached his landing spot:
