Hello Birdie
Uploaded: May 13, 2006
I captured this guy while we were hunkered down under some shelter, waiting out a Texas spring shower. If you look closely, you can see a couple of raindrops on his head. Well, I don't KNOW it's a "he", none of us could think of what kind of bird this even was! :) I have to thank Darryl for alerting us to his presence so we could get the shot.

Great shot Richard, Dennis is exactly right it is a Green Heron. Did you see it extend its neck? It's really funny to see all that neck come out of its chest. I watched one nab small fish from a pond for a while last year and had to look it up to find out what kind of bird it was. #2760909

Great shot of this Green Heron Richard. I got some pretty good shots of these guys this morning. They can be very sky, and sometimes you can nearly walk on them.If you have a chance, visit my personal photo website:
