Terrific close-up shot of the green heron, Jimmy! You really got close to him. And it's not that easy to do.

Thanks, Mike!
Our wetlands is directly under the approach path to MSP airport, so I wait for noise cover the move in.
Works sometimes...
Cheers!

I very much appreciate your comments, Richard! I'd missed them on a few earler trips so was especially excited to see them. These 2 were only part of a large colony nesting on the earthen sides of the riverbank.

The two are couples.

Nice shots of the two Olive-backed sunbirds, RAL! The colors are bright and saturated.
