I had a few minutes between appointments today and stopped at the beach to get some shots of sailboats. Since it usually takes hours to get one decent bird shot, I didn't even think about them. As soon as I hit the beach, a pair of Great Blue Herons decided to put on a show for me, and I got about 20 keepers within 5 minutes. Here are a few.
