This guy was fun to watch as he fished for lunch. He was in a small, clear stream - I couldn't see any fish in it, but he still kept catching them! Made for a great photography session.

This is my favorite shot from the heron photo shoot. It has a few hot spots, but I still love it!

Such a cool shot! I like how it it looks as if the Fisher doesn't have a good grip on the fish but at the same time it does. Awesome job :)

It was pretty fun watching him a better grip - he'd throw the fish in the air a bit and catch it in his beak :)
