Green Heron Stealth Mode, Sony A1/Sony Alpha1, 4k

Green Herons are some of the most "stealthy" birds I have observed, but I always struggle with what is the best verb (gerund) to describe their activity ... stalking, prowling, skulking? Whatever it is, this bird was pretty good at it.

This 156-shot frame animation plays twice ... once wide, once tight.
