Thanks Mark. Shot it right here in Bloomfield Hills on a stream that’s part of the Rouge system. I was screened somewhat by shrubs and walk up from about 100 yards away. I think he was distracted by the fish. Saw another Heron in the same place the other day, but he spooked before I could get a single shot off. Thought I got him flying but ended up with a shot of a tree brand with heron legs sticking out the back:-).
