After a morning basking in the sun this fellow spent a few minutes fishing within 25 feet of my camera. At times it was so close that the camera could not focus. Fortunately the fish concentrated in an area where I could get a better shot. The bird's intense concentration and lightening speed caught a passing fish unaware. The expert fisher made the hunt look easy. May 2013

It remained there for 20 minutes, scanning the marshland undisturbed by my presence.
