Great Blue Heron...dancing???
I've never seen a GBH do this before...he was standing stock still for most of the morning, and all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, he started dashing about to and fro like a Reddish egret or a Tri-colored Heron. Their normal feeding behavior is to stand motionless and wait for the fish to come to them. I have a series of these, about 20, in different poses. C/C always appreciated.
Canon 1D IV...ISO 800; 500 mm f/4L IS; 1/3200 sec. @ f/8. PP in LR 4.3. Almost full frame except a little taken off the left and bottom for composition. A little bit of sharpening and clarity adjustment in post.

Another in the same series Great Blue Heron - Dancing???
I'm working on the first (original) photo, but here's another one from the series. Better wing spread, I think. Same exact shooting parameters; this one's about 90% FF. I almost wish there were a facility for posting a series of three or four images to capture the full behavior. Thanks for the comments so far.
