    That would be a green heron. One of the harder herons to capture because they are very shy.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Harry is right, we have those herons up north here too. They are much smaller than the great herons... Nice one Ric. thumb.gif

    Hi, AJ...
    ...Harry is a smart guy...eh?

    Don't laugh now...but...I have always had a sixth sense. The path I was walking down was coming to a slight clearing. I "felt" that there was something up and to the left, so, I was ready! Getting one like this made my day.

    Thanks.:D
