This was taken yesterday morning with my new Nikon camera - it was taken with the full 30X zoom. I had been waiting for him to land and of course he landed as far from me as possible in a little cove. My husband estimates it was between 200-300 yards away but I don't really know. There is a terrible algae bloom right now on the lagoon but the herons seem to like wading in that. I did apply a soft focus on the shot except for the heron to try to emphasize him more.
