Intent on Fishing I did wish a little for a clearer view of this heron, but it was so intent on fishing it didn't seem to care I was there. For such a large bird they are usually very timid, so this is the closest I've ever been to one. There seemed to be a lot of fish in this area. They kept jumping out of the water.
