I was just starting to feel ok about wasting that heron and was even convinving myself that there was more than luck to the shot, when I see another one wading around eating fish. Luckily I had finally sighted in the Aimpoint and dispatching this one was a one shot deal.
That was two days ago, this morning number 3 shows up, but caught me of guard and flew before I could swing into action.

Now I am wondering, were there 3 all along? I just remember always seeing one stalking my fish every time I looked out at the pond.

They might be good to eat, I gave both to the house building crew, which they readily accepted.
