Great Blue Heron Shake

Huntley Meadows Park - Alexandria, Virginia
August 22nd, 2021
After watching this Great Blue Heron go hard after a fish and completely submerge himself in the effort, I knew the opportunity for a "shake-off" capture was coming. I was able to grab this image as the bird removed all water so he could enjoy his meal. I love the freeze of the water spray and the "squinting" of the bird's eye as he removes the water from his body.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
