OK, we don't have the great blue... we have purple... Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea)

Nice shots. They are very similar to our Great Blue Herons, aren't they?

Jason, thanks for the post. This is the first time I've seen a Purple Heron. The pictures are really nice.

Yes they are related, a closer relative will be the Gray Heron (Ardea cinerea)

Thanks to all for viewing & comments :)

Wow. Gorgeous bird.

Is that lens flare in the first 2 pics? It doesn't look sunny enough for that.

Great shots!
