This is a Great Blue Heron, and a similar shot to [link] .

Both were taken at the LaDue Reservoir. I gave it this title for a few reasons. I had to be very patient to get this shot. I was at the lake for about 45 minutes before I saw this guy. When I first saw him, he was back in the woods. I waited for another 40 minutes or so for him to come out into the water. He was also very patient, waiting for the right moment to strike and catch a fish. He sat completely motionless for several minutes at a time. In fact, this is a 4 second exposure. I never did see him catch a fish, although he did make several attemps over the course of the next half hour or so that I watched him.
