The Long and The Short Of It (GBH-Young)

I got lucky the other morning across from one of the local shrimp boat docks and fish market. It seems that about six or seven pairs of Great Blue Herons decided they would nest there. Apparently, they had been there for a while since the chicks had already hatched and were showing some age. Here are a few shots from that morning. I do beleive there was a daily supply of fish and shrimp from this waterfron market. Smart Birds!

Great shots again Keith. These herons are such hams. I've hurt myself laughing at some of the poses I've seen in this forum.

Lovely captures

Outstanding shots once again. Love the pose in them all but the last shot shows very well how beautiful the Great Blue Heron really is Simply perfect. Excellent work as always Keith.

I agree with Sindri, the last shot is classic!

Great shots, showing the tremendous physical range of these birds!

Nice shots of these birds. The Image Quality is amazing. What Equipment did you use?

Wow Keith, these are great shots. Your third shot is outstanding.
