  Now that is some great detail you have captured. The water and the color of it sure made a great looking BG.

  Thank you so much for all of the wonderful comments! Kathleen: I will try to get one home for you to photograph the next time we come that way! Leena and I are very lucky to have a couple of these near our home here in Texas that are not so shy! Most GBH are not as cooperative as this guy! Jeff

  Jeff - I live with Blue Herons everyday - they fish from my pier all day long -- but I have NEVER seen one this close up! What a great job you've done here - these are very cautious birds - and you've captured every detail! Good job! Judy
