I caught one!!

When driving on I 255 southeast of St. Louis Missouri, into Illinois this morning I saw this large backwater pond filled with white egrets and herons next to the Mississippi River levy. I got off the interstate and took the outer road back to the levy to take this image. There were probably 200 egrets and herons in the backwater. If you look closely you can see dead fish floating all over and laying on the bank. I was lucky enough to catch this heron just as he had caught a live fish.
