[busbyea]

I like this little Heron; He's no "BLUE"; But he'll have to "DO"

All images taken with 30D; 500mm + 1.4 X; ISO 200.

Love these birds, but I rarely see them around; and when I do seems like they're moving a mile a minute and don't sit still long.

Wow, Ted, you broke the mold with that flight shot in the reeds. Id' love to even see one.

[dispatchermike21]

Very nice I have only seen and Photographed these guys twice and I wish I had had the reach you did, very well done.

[Wayne Wood]

Cool! I like the outstretched neck in the first shot...

[EZRider]

Very sweet indeed!

Really like the flight shot in the reeds also :)

[ZipDude66]

What a set Ted! How did you manage to keep the focus on the flight shot? Well done!

[ospreyphoto]

I really like pose #4. I saw these many years ago at Nortel in the west end.

That 700mm does the job! #2 and #4 are great. --Rick

Thanks Mitch; EZ; & Zip; Just got very lucky on the flight shot through the reeds. He started to move quickly to the top of a little mound and I flipped on the AI Servo; aimed in the general the direction he was going; and when I noticed he left the ground; I just held down the shutter....I'm happy it turned out as good as it did. :D

Thanks buddhasghost; We're pretty lucky with this and 2 others in the same area. Once they settle in; they get pretty comfortable, and give us lots of opportunities.

Very nice I have only seen and Photographed these guys twice and I wish I had had the reach you did, very well done.
Thanks Mike; Got the reach; now need technique!

very nice Ted my friend ,,, ahhhh who the hell am I kidding there awesome ,,, hopefully this year we'll be able to get you big Blue;)
Thanks Wayne; I'm going to hold you to that one !!! :p
