This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

The cast. by Glen Brenner, on Flickr
THen rode to coffee shop.
Then rode elsewhere, and had a productive photo time stalking a Great Blue Heron.
THe heron was successful on 3 of 4 strikes in about 45 minutes. (And I came home with about a hundred shots to look thru.)
Untitled by Dave Redman, on FlickrI dont know if that is a mouse or a voule or shrew or what, but there are three less of them there along that area.

I didn't expect to see a heron scoffng critters, thought they only ate fish.
THis guy was close to the water, but on land (I noticed was a lot of algie on the water).
Was slowly walking along edge between mowed area and growth along the water edge. Would stop, and stare into the growth for a while, maybe step into the growth, and stare some more, and maybe strike. If it got something (did 3 times I saw), it would back up into the mowed area, usally holding the critter by mid section for a while, then work it around to having it by the head (like pictured above) and hold for a while, then work it around so is pointed in direction down the throat, then GULP.
Might be voles.
An other occassion this morning
Yah, I most often see them in water, and seldom see one strike.
But usally are further away, not as intersting of a photo, so I take some shots, and move on. Also they usally fly away if I try to get closer.
THis guy watched me as I got off bike but didnt fly away. I did move away from the bike, and I knelt down on one knee, and after a while it went back to hunting.
