CRAWDAD HUNTER
self | Feb 10,2008 | swampsniper

The stems of the Dollarweed form a floating mat, full of Crawdads, snails and other good stuff. The Little Blue Heron is light enough to walk all over it. I may have to trap some of those Crawdads myself!

Little Blue Heron Egretta caerulea

We have herons here, but none that beautiful.

Thanks, kind words make my day.

I don't shoot to kill any more, but I still hunt like my kids are hungry. Seriously, watch the way most folks walk down the street, they show little self awareness. They swing their arms too much, their shoulders sway from side to side, and they turn their head back and forth. An exaggerated cartoon stalking effort is just as bad.

You will most always get spotted, birds and animals are good at that, but you can't look like a threat.

A lion likely stalks 5 antelope, for each one he catches.
