Birds, birds, birds

This pair was shot while taking a walk in a park in Lasalle, Montreal:

1. Heron?

I got out of the trail to reach the shore in order to get better shots of the River... and I arrived nose to beak with this heron. He was about 10-12 feet from me and didn't move for a while, even though I crouched and stood up in order to get a dozen of shot from various angles.

2. Bird silhouette
Later in the same park, a bird on a post in front of a sunset reflection. The water is from an inland small lake, more calm than the River.

3. Bird silhouette (black and white version)
I personally prefer this version.

Have a nice day all!
