Green Heron from the backyard

Here in New England, we live on a small pond which runs heavy with little fish. The fish attract all kinds of waterfowl. This afternoon I stepped out and saw this fellow perched on a branch in the middle of the pond. I just live being able to shoot waterfowl without having to travel!

7D, 100-400L at 400mm, 1/1600 sec, f/5.6, ISO 800.

That's a nice shot. They are spooky little birds.

Very nice shot. We don't see many of these here.

You are lucky to have things like this right in your backyard.

Very nice shot.
