Father's Day Birds

Another big storm last night.  Went out this morning to Suson Park and found the Great Blue Heron along the lake in the back.  On the way out of the park I saw some fishermen catching bluegill and feeding them to a Black Crested Night Heron. Got some great action shots.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads.
