The Reason I Called This Meeting

I loved how engaged these three seemed to be and the way the two seemed to be actively listening to the one with its beak open. I really wondered what they were chatting about -- maybe 'Ignore those two photographers and just act naturally as that will make them happy.'

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I'm terrible at judging distance so I'm not sure. But they were at the top of very very tall trees. We were standing in a swampy area below them and even with my 600mm, I did some cropping. With an iPhone held vertically, I could not get both ground and sky in the same image.

[Danette Thompson]

Wonderful!

What fun! And how gorgeously you have captured the birds in color and realism. And, of course. I always find your storytelling fun. (not so sure your "signature" works in that space, though . . .)

This is really a fantastic shot. Unusual to see so many herons interacting.Mostly I’ve seen single birds foraging for food or couples nesting.
