Blue Heron
Uploaded: September 21, 2005
I took this yesterday as I was driving by the lake. He was on one of the docks and I was able to get close enough to use my 600mm zoom I did crop and use a small amount of sharpping done.

Nice capture, Teresina, such a beautiful bird! #314043teresina m. wheaton September 21, 2005
Thanks Deb for your great comment. It really is a great bird. Should have seen me getting out of the car and putting everything together so not to miss this one. LOL #1863758Kerby Pfrangle September 21, 2005

Great capture Teresina, Nice Blur! #1864972teresina m. wheaton September 22, 2005
Thanks Kerby and C.J. for the great comments. I had never been this close before and the guy that was fishing on the dock gave this guy a fish. I did get a shot off but the lighting was all wrong but still cool to watch. Thanks again. #1866562Larry Smith September 22, 2005

Thans Larry for the great comment, I so appreciate it. #1868027Dan McConoughey October 11, 2005
Teresina, what a great shot. I'm envious, I have never gotten such a unobstructed shot of a Heron. (As my gallery will attest to.) Fine detail and great background. #1942598teresina m. wheaton October 11, 2005
Thank you Dan for this great comment. I was very lucky on this right place right time. I've been trying to get a good one all summer. #1942784Ed Wenger December 23, 2005
