IMG_1204 Great Blue Heron

Beat viewed large. What an afternoon it was! Finally got some shots of a Great Blue Heron at the city duck pond. The Great White Egret was there and I was "casting bread upon the water" to help the Egret catch fish and for the ducks. The Great Blue Heron does not like the Great White Egret and kept chasing him off.
Thank you for viewing and commening, I appreciate it.

@adifferenteye Thank you very much! I was so thrilled to finally get some shots of one of these.
June 21st, 2012  
We too have them at the lake. I have tried to get good shots, to no avail!! This photo inspires me. I seem to not have the proper lens on or something. Going to try again.. I will post some of my swan photos, please let me know what you think..
June 21st, 2012  
@adifferenteye I usd my 55-250mm lens, set my camera on the sports (action setting), got the focus on the bird and as he took off, kept following him holding the button down and this is my favorite shot of the ones I got.. When I first got my camera I tried to take a photo of a Heron but it was not focused well.
I checked out your album and will make some comments. I noticed that you are not following anyone. If you find some people with similar interests and follow them, people will begin to follow you and they will give you feedback. I have learned a lot from the people on 365.
June 24th, 2012  
Fine! My FAV!
June 28th, 2012  
OK thank you Linda @grannysue, I will start following people. may I start with you first? :)
July 2nd, 2012  
@adifferenteye Just saw your post. Of course!
