Here are two more shots of the night heron from the Wetlands. I think in the second one he's screaming,"Who is that lady and why does she keep following me??!!" :)

Lovely shots Karen. A touch of fill flash may have added some catchlight in its eye in the first photo.

I love the second shot! That bird is almost catatonic sometimes, it's good to see some action like that.

I really like all these shots of this bird. I just wish I could get close enough or find out where they hang out at in my area. Great shots Karen!!

Yes it was a little dark, he flew and landed on that branch, which was almost between me and the sun and there was no other angle to shoot him. You gotta grab what you can with the birds...

Thanks, Joe and Bob for the comments. I think he was active because I was pestering him. :)
