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
Wow!
What a spectacular picture Ron… amazing
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.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate the comments.
Fantastic, Ron.
Amazing shot Ron, thats quite a large bird
Thanks Stevo, Bernie. Yeah it was on the large size though I don’t think it tastes like chicken for some reason…
landing or take off…riskiest?
