Green Heron, Mississippi River, Mud Lake, Iowa
I made another trip with the kayak yesterday evening down at the Mississippi River. Sometimes the best things happen right after the start. This Green Heron was on the hunt next to one of the big beaver lodges. We both were a little surprised but after a couple seconds the heron turned towards the shore and flew into a tree and out of sight. This was the only shot I was able to make.
American Bullfrog, Mississippi River, Mud Lake, Iowa
It seemed the number of bullfrogs had doubled over night. The loud sound the males make during the breeding season could be heard everywhere along the shore. The light was again perfect and I was able to get really close to some of the big fellows.
