This fellow was very cooperative, posing on the railing about 15-20 feet from me.

I have yet to see one of these anywhere around here, I know they're here....guess I haven't found their hiding place yet. Great shots Stan.

I love the look of these birds Stan and it looks like he is quite used to pedestrians... nice shots.

I love it when birds are co-operative, nice shots Stan. Is the second a crop from the first? Just looks a little soft.

I really like that 1st shot, great result that the bird allowed you to get that close.

Thanks everyone. The second is a 100% crop of another image taken shortly after the first. Just thought the BG and color of the bird would make a nice portrait.

The build of our Grey Herons, yet so very different. First is great, Stan. The big crop is a tad soft, but the colours are nice indeed. Good work.
