Ardea herodias
Large magnificent sea bird with blue-gray back and long neck. Easily a 6 foot wing span.
Along the ocean beaches on rocks and sand standing very still catching food with his sharp spear-like bill.
This Heron was at the end of Soule Road on Hamilton Beach around noon when spotted feasting on what looked like eels. I watched him catch at least three of them within fifteen minutes.

Superb shots!
Very cool. Great shots.
Lovely and a little different profile! Eels for lunch, a little variety!
