Default Lake Okeechobee Birds
While visiting the Everglades, I spent time around Lake Okeechobee. These shots are from Torry Island in the big lake, a tri-color heron and a green heron.

Thanks, everyone, for the positive feedback. The greenie flew from me a couple times before landing on the rail of a boat dock, near a pair of fishermen. I guess he felt safe enough to pose for me.
