They pick up pieces of wood or other material and repeatedly drop it into the water to attract fish. The Green Herons do the same.

Excellent image with the lighting, perch, and setting, all contributing to this fine photograph.I didn't know about the stick dropping behavior, so that was an interesting addition to the description, Karl.

Very interesting to see this behavior. Looks like junior has learned the lesson already! Wonderful light and pose.
