More GBH shots.

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.

Wow, you got pretty close...

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.

Excellent.. I love the first shot ;)

They will definitely get used to you if you take your time..
it's great when you can get close enough for such good shots!
Congrats :)
