Ok, I admit, I love any birds and this is a beauty.Love the blues to his feathers-he's king of the swamp with all eyes on his bad hair :) Cute,fun photo. Thanks for this choice heron. Impressive image too!
Hello Jeff, what a magnificent bird.
The backdrop is just perfect.
Did you know these bird are almost considered a plague here in Holland?
I have a breeding colony just half a mile away from my home and they make lots of noise high up in the tree.
Funny, I have become so accustomed to them I'd almost forgotten how special these big birds are. Your photo made me realise I should make some pictures myself of the heron. Maybe I will upload one soon... thanks to you!
