Description
This heron was perched on a cable that's strung across the waterway at Ballard to keep boats from getting too close to the bits they're supposed to keep away from.
He sat there very patiently, waiting for fish to come by. It's a good living! :)

Wonderful capture! Very regal looking
Fantastic balance. Has the circus tried to recruit him? Wonderful capture. I uploaded a picture of his cousin today.
Well composed! He gives you a nice pose!
Great capture...
Nice shot Tara. I like his balancing act!
great catch..........excellent
Wow cool shot of this bird Tara well done!!
Casual elegance...a look I once aspired to achieve. (grunge is so much easier)
A wonderful shot Tara. I like it very much. It feels so peaceful and I can almost hear the gulls too :-)
I wish I could have the patience when fishing. Nice capture. Aloha
A beautiful shot... I think its a Grey Heron.. But....Don't quote me on that..! Excellent post.. Rob
Excellent photo!
I never knew they could balance so well. Outstanding capture.
I was just thinking what PJ said!!! They should be awarded medals for being able to balance on those thin little legs!!! Wonderful capture Dierbaar!! :)
Beautiful image. Herons are such wonderful subjects, aren't they?
What a great shot--love the view of his feet on the cable, just something about it that really appeals to me!!
His balance was easy and yet amazing. Imagine if you or I landed on a wire like he does...if we could hold on we'd still be pinwheeling around and around on that slender cable:) Beautiful composition and detail.
Fantastic shot! :)
Patience is a virtue he says...and also brings a meal...
I've seen them doing this too; it's amazing to watch. You got a great shot of him with that new cam of yours!
Great shot, I watched one like this in a local pond or should I say mud hole he soon left , no food.
cool shot
Wonderful shot!
oh this one is nice, Tara, love the colors of the water and your fine composition in this shot!
Love this beautiful capture and the patterns on the water. Very nice catch. Dana
