  Very nice work, Cary. Man, I keep trying for a good blue heron shot of those that live right here, and so far . . . Congratulations on this nice one.

  Thank you Mitch. I have shot many, many throw-aways of these guys, and stalked them--back and forth--all over the shoreline, trying to get some good shots. Be persistent, and it'll pay-off. Thanks again.

  Another great photo Cary! Very colorful. I like chasing the Blue Heron up and down the shoreline too.

  Thanks Ken. Sometimes I'd rather that the local Great Blue just fly over to me and pose... ;-)

  Thank you for your nice comments, Laurie! One of these days I am gonna get a good shot of a great blue when they go into one of their strange-looking "yoga" poses!

  What a beautiful image Cary! It looks like the wing is being used to cover-up for modesty! Well done!

  Thank you, Jake! The great blue is probably my most favorite bird to observe, because of some of the very unusual poses they strike.

  Thank you, Toni! It was probably seeing and watching a great blue for the first time--about 3 years ago--that got me more interested in birding, and eventually into photography.

  Well, thank you, Kaye! Seeing great blues at the lake was one of my biggest inspirations in getting a camera, and learning photography.
