Honest wasn't looking for one just saw him sittin in this tree flew down once while I was gettin set (of course :wxwax). The GBH and NHeron seemed to hang together but were pretty leary of my persence kept about 50 yards out no matter what I did. Anywho here the shots that past the trash :D

    You did it, Ben, a mighty fine GBH and a NBH, too. So well exposed and sharp.

    You are like me, you have green stuff, I assume algae, mine is algae.

    This place is hopping, I looked at it last night and the whole page had different posts from when I looked before. I was deleting stuff off of my hard drive, couldn't stop to "talk". Bad me.

    I did think: gosh with all these birds, I don't have to go out this weekend, not for my birds. Then I came across a shot, deleted it, of course, from last winter, on a birder thing. Saw the tree where all my birds were nesting, except it was brown and barren. Don't know where the birds go, but it was a sad sight.

    I wonder if Harry has Night Herons and just set us up with this hysteria. Then he might pull out a bunch..............and they will be gorgeous, too.

    Anyway, wanted to say "Good Great Blue and Good Night"

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Good series Ben. Even if you had to include two of those birds taht I won't mention again. The shots have a green tone is that the way it was or was your wb off?

    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!"

    Hi Ben,

    Now ya' got Harry ruffled... you got a critique out of him!rolleyes1.gif He is right though, it is a tad green on some of the birds. Although you're still doing better than me on capturing a night heron. Here's my best shot of one in flight...
