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.

Good grief, Stan...were you standing next to them? Nicely done!

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.
