My Favorite Blues!!

2008.01.10
Enlarge to see how cool he looks.... Catching some morning sun!

Enlarge to see the catch of the day!!

I think he sees me?

He is looking for a snack!

Enlarge to see how cool he looks!! He is trying to hide next tothe bank.

I was never really a serious bird watcher. I have always been fascinated by birds in flight,but never really tried to find birds or watch birds until I got my very first camera on Christmas 2006.

These are my favorite snaps of the Great Blue Heron at different locations. Such a cool bird to watch hunt and walk in the water.

MHJphotos Sheri ... the composition, tones and reflections of the last three are fantastic! If DD can be a 'hooker', you're definitely a 'stalker'!

Congratulations ... magnificent shots, of a magnificent bird.

P.S. February is coming up mighty fast! =)
