Net Watchers
This Great Blue Heron found the perfect perch on the bow of this skiff, joined by an Osprey atop a nearby pole, each patiently watching and waiting for their lunch from this fish net on the upper Rappahannock River.
Specs: Nikon D7000, 300 mm, F/5.7, 1/1250, ISO 400.

Love images like this. Reminds me how a beautiful a simple life is. Of how inspiring nature can be.

I think this shot is amazing! Our osprey residents do not like the blue herons visiting below their osprey platform and will dive-bomb them to try to force the blue heron to fly off. Yours are very cordial, love it! As I tell mine, hey there’s enough fish for everyone! 🙂

Thanks for the comment, Donna. I think when the birds are hungry, they must have a little more tolerance for each other. I was on the Capt. Thomas charter boat with 80 people when this shot just lined up nicely. — Rob

Thanks for your comments. This shot was taken hand-held from a distance while I was onboard the Captain Thomas passenger boat cruising 10 knots up the Rappahannock River. I got lucky!
