Well captured Patrick, so much so for the saying that Herons are solitary birds!!

Thanks to all. I was leaving the park below the dam when I saw this. Luckily 100mm was wide enough, as I only had the 100-400 with me.

There are usually multiple Herons at this location, but this was something special. They are standing on a wall between two outlets to the lake behind the dam. The Corp of Engineers controls the lake level by opening the outlets, and when they are open a lot of fish come through with the water. This is where we find Eagles as well, for the same reason.

Quite a capture, I've never seen that many so close together. This brings back memories, worst blizzard I've been in started as I was crossing this dam in the 70's, learned to believe the weatherman in Kansas that day.
