RWBB in flight....does this count

[jeeperman]

Saw the RWBB swoop in and pester the Heron a couple times. Got ready to catch him the third time and off they went. I have been trying for the in flight RWBB. Just did not think this would be my first. lol

I think it counts just fine, that's a great shot paul. Timing is everything.

[Bobobird]

Wow, you got it in flight AND doing something. Really cool shot. Well done and congrats.

[jeeperman]

Thank you Steve, timing is the key.

Thank you as well Bobo, I am pretty pleased I pulled it off.

Well done Paul! good capture well exposed.

He trying to hitch a ride, or being territorial with a bird 20 times his size?

[jeeperman]

Thanks Jack. Yes Johnny...territorial. The run the Eagles off as well if the Eagle makes a kill to close. They are the small dog of the bird world.

Wow Paul, you are really scoring some awesome bird pics, and that one
belongs in Nat. Geo!

Is that in a pond? If so, what is going on there below the Heron's feet?
"Something" is making that water boil...

I'm still trying to find a Heron stupid enough to stand there while I try and stalk
them. Unfortunately, I've got the grace and balance of a drunk duck, so I'm
learning the best approach is to sit in a home-made blind and wait for the
critters to come to me.

Thanks Mike, the boils.......well they say a picture is worth a thousand words....Lk. Washington.
