I watched this young Great Blue give this fishing trip his all. He stared at the water just knowing something would come by.

He tried for hours in this same spot, and position. I shot these mid day, and have another set photographed end of day. Lighting and coloration totally different.

It’s how they learn.

The good news ;  this is in his rookery, near his nest, near his adults.

Eventually they will give him something.
