OOPS! I'm so used to writing Great Blue Herons that I named them wrong in the title of the thread. I meant Green Herons.

I was delightfully surprised when upon visiting the pond at the lake boat launch to find these two Green Herons. I've been there innumerable times and never seen one before. The morning light was getting bright potentially jeopardizing good exposures, so I'm grateful to have gotten these.

Very neat! I don't know if they're seen around here or not. I always thought of them as North Carolina-and-south birds!

I just wish I could have gotten more of their color. I went back this morning, but they were nowhere to be found. I checked BNA and find them up near you as well Ian! Thank you kindly.
