One of the two Herons that live at the pond. The other one won't let me get close enough to get a shot of it. This one don't seem to mind me being there.
Normally birds fly away from me even if I get within 100 - 200 ft. of them. Wonderful detail on the heron ... surely stands out in its natural surroundings. I like the reflection too. Very well done Ed.
Nice capture!!! You did get you a heron!!! It's hard to spook them sometimes when they are so intent on food. Other than that....they fly at the drop of a hat.
Funny how one can be more easily spooked. I like his colors and the surrounding green of the pond. I agree with other comments, the reflections add to the image. Very nice.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
