I photographed this Great Blue Heron swimming with a Shad at the City Lake in Charleston, Arkansas. I mainly go to this lake in the winter to photograph the Bald Eagles that like to fish here.
I was in the parking lot photographing this Heron with my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
