One can never tire of beauty like this Opie. I hope you don't get in trouble for Heron Stalkin'. I think they have relaxed the laws, but they will put you in a data base. I think it is called the permanent gallery. Great post and so clear.

Beautiful photo of the Heron,the clarity is very good,it looks very good with the water and green leaves too.No,it is not boring at all.

Another great capture of the green Heron Paul. When i tire of your bird images i go to sleep for 6 hours then wake up an enjoy them for 18 more hours. Faved

A perfect close up! Just look at the details in those feathers. Paul, I'm not bored at all! I did know there were Green Herons till these postings. =^..^= sandi ♪

I think it's wonderful you keep seeing him. I keep going back to the swamp to see the "little blues", but only seen them one other time. Love the details here.

You must have this guy tamed in order to get this close a shot.

Excellent Color and Detail Paul.
Thanks for sharing.

I never get tired of seeing this type of picture. You do excellent work with them. Super work on this one, Paul. You always have them in such good focus.

Oh my gosh! This is just such a wonderful, clear and beautiful shot, Paul. You are so 'pushing the envelope' on this one! Faved!

So professional and beautiful Paul! You should be sending these to magazines buddy! Outstanding quality!

Great shot Paul! He's so regal and colorful! What a sharp beak! Fabulous detail and presentation! :)Ami

Perfect dof, wonderful detail and rich colours, plus that avian intensity, a great shot.

In one word: MAGNIFICENT!!

I notice where I live there seem to be way more birds this year. All kinds. I love the Herons. This is so kewl, how the Heron actually blends with the scenery, but I noticed one thing, and that is that you have a small "merger" here. It's the one grass just behind him, making it look like it is growing from the top of his head...:) I love his colour.Verena

He looks like he has already try to get it, there is still water on his beak, great close up and so clear too. Nice work.

What a great shot of this beautiful bird. He looks great in that lush green vegetation. I never tire of seeing a wonderful capture of our feathered friends.
