Great Blue Heron, Moose, and a Lost Rhino

[bc_steve]

Had to pick up a package at the greyhound but they were closed for a half an hour so I took the dog down to the beach. Walked right up close to this heron before I even noticed it. Rushed back to the truck for my camera and fortunately it was still there. Of course now that I had my camera it wouldn't let me get as close!

My friend didn't believe me and looked up their range online. Apparently they migrate through here.

The Rhino shot is so majestic.. I remember simplybarb was wandering around looking for a moose.. It's funny that you found it with such ease..

Gorgeous shots all of them..

Nice shots Steve and a fine Heron in flight shot, great timing on that one. Rihno's are really specail and well taken on that shot. Love the background as well. Moose, well nothing like that here and a great head on shot. Also extremely well taken.

All the nest Steve, nice work.

Thank you very much!

...but "all the nest"? It's true, we must really be bird crazy around here

Really nice but the heron and rhino are tops.:thumbup:

There are lots of blue herons where I live but I can never get that close! Great shot!!!

 

[DarkShadow]

Yea there not like Osprey that just look at you as whats up.Heron see your feet come around a corner quarter mile away and it's see you bye bye.

See, and my herons just will NOT fly. They stand there waaaaaaaay out in the water looking for fish and kinda glance my way. They know I'm not wading out into the marsh for them.

My herons are city birds, though, so they may be a little less shy. I can't wait to get out and get some shots of them this spring (first spring with a real camera).

 

[DarkShadow]

Yea city birds are rough and if your not careful, they will jack your wallet.The city pigeons in my area are packing.:lmao:

 

[Civchic]

If you're worried about city pigeons, stay WAY away from city seagulls! ha.

Great eye contact from the moose. Excellent all!
