Fish feel safer with protection<br /> from above and swim into these apparently safe shadow areas. And then the heron strikes!</p> <p>I remember there was a fisherman complaining about the poor fishing.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">I pointed out the Barrow's Golden-Eye, heron, seals, and other fishermen - and suggested he was<br /> simply a poor fisherman.</p><p>Photo by <a href="https://www.23hq.com/mramshaw/">mramshaw</a></p> https://www.23hq.com/mramshaw/photo/17511804 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 15:52:21 GMT https://www.23hq.com/mramshaw/photo/16275800 <p><a href="https://www.23hq.com/mramshaw/photo/16275800"><img src="https://www.23hq.com/16171062/16275800_2224e29dbe3d5cdf28c0300d27e70cb4_standard.jpg" width="460" height="460" class="23-standard"/></a></p><p>One for @hansung - I processed this but am not entirely happy with it, so feel free to critique my processing!</p> <p>male - not technically a bee (Bees were introduced to North America by the Spanish in the 1700's), but an example of convergent evolution and an important pollinator nevertheless</p> <p>From Wikipedia (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufous_hummingbird">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufous_hummingbird</a>):<br /> <br /> -- small hummingbird, about 8 cm long (3 inches) with a long, straight and very slender bill.<br /> -- These birds are known for their incredible flight skills.
