I think this is the same guy as the last shots I got. He seems to be getting comfortable with me. C&C welcome!

In this shot he was in the middle of shaking to ruffle his feathers. That is dead on the top of his head.

I wish I could have gotten into a better position to get that stick in the foreground out of the picture, but there wan't anywhere else for me to ge besides into the water.

Good closeups..

There are a lot of GBH's where I live, but I find our herons are much like the ospreys you photographed in another post.. I can never get close to them.. :)

Yes, this one has been letting me get pretty close. There is a juvinile in the same area that won't let me within 60 feet or so. But I'll keep trying... And I still need to catch one of them feeding. Can't wait for those shots.

Thanks all.
