18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Great Blue Heron Working the Swamp.

I visit a local swamp on a regular basis to photograph the wildlife. On this particular morning a Great Blue Heron was hunting for fish to eat and I was lucky enough to witness its efforts. I was in camouflage so it never knew I was there.
