Those are great! Excellent flight shots too, and the bg on those really makes them something special!

Beautiful shots. Amazing that the little ones are totally white and gradually turn blue over the first year or so, We see them a lot here.

Thank you, those were shot in Gatorland park, Orlando while I was vacationing with my family last week.

These are wonderful shots Ruhikant....one little heron I've never had the pleasure of seeing in person.

Next spring I hope to make it to this spot for some photography. It sure is a great rookery from what I've seen on this forum.

Very well done. I don't see many shots of a little blue in flight.
