nice shots. i never get tired of the great blue herons.

great shot...

they can be quite hard to photograph, there quick and don't always seem to stay in one spot very long. here is a photo of a male that i really like but it was also in bad lightning with a 1/4000 shutter speed with my 200mm lens, it was cropped pretty heavily but still looks good if you can...
