FEATURES |

I delayed renewing my fishing license this year because I was having so much fun observing and photographing wildlife that I almost forgot about fishing. But last week as I was taking pictures of egrets on Goose Island something changed all that. An egret was perched in a tree very close to me when it launched from the branch and swooped towards the water. Instead of landing as I expected, it opened its beak and scooped up a nice bluegill as it flew by, something I’d never heard of before.
