This juvenile Tri-colored Heron (at the heronry on the I-10 by the Trinity River) was off on his/her own this day practicing his stealth techniques. When there is no shoreline, the fish swim right up to the trunk of the tree.
The secret for the hunter is to keep his feet out of the water so as not to tip off the prey. Then she must stand perfectly still and become the tree. Lastly, use those sharp eyes to follow anything that moves. Lastly, you have a sharp beak to quickly penetrate the water without giving your prey and alert. This young one was rewarded with several tasty catches.
