Found a couple of green herons at my favorite "bird park" this afternoon - first ones I've seen there in a couple of years. One of them flew over near one of the viewing platforms, and gave me about 2 hours' worth of goodies... caught several small fish and a dragonfly, spent some time stalking, preening, stretching, yawning, and generally going "greenie" stuff. I got a lot of good images from about 25 feet away, and had a wonderful afternoon photographing this little guy before he finally flew off around 7:15...

Great series - I especially like the wing stretches.

Awesome, Rocky! I've been lamenting the lack of opportunity to catch these guys, lately; if they're coming back to the park, that's fantastic.

Thanks, guys! Green herons are among my favorites to photograph... they can be very elusive, and it's really a treat when one comes out and puts on a show like this!
