when i say something, i mean it

that’s the best heron picture i’ve seen, as it seems they are always shot waterside, i had no idea they had such a wing structure, i’ve spooked a few before while fishing, but without this still shot i never was able to see what i see now

striking, yet such a noble look

i did a ‘save picture’ hope you don’t mind

This is an incredible shot, Ron. One of my favorites. I see herons every day (they chow down on the fish and frogs in the pond), but never this clearly.

Thanks Stevo, Bernie. Yeah it was on the large size though I don’t think it tastes like chicken for some reason…
