    Reminds me of a baby moose, only a mother could love that look.
    Very interesting and unique photo. Nice catch. I like it.

    Thanks, Al, thanks Eric, I have no idea what he was doing. They just start that. He and his parent were having a "fight". I think all the parents are super tired of their kids living at home: at the rookery, I mean.

    GBHs
    Ginger -- I've been loving your bird shots the whole time I've been lurking. Great Blue Herons are my very favorite bird. Somewhere along the line, I got the idea that it's good luck to see one. You must have a lot of good luck saved up! Thanks for the great photo here -- I've never seen a juvie GBH.

    Cheers!

    Excellent capture Ginger. Whenever I look at those young birds I can see the relationship to dinosaurs. :D

    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!"

    Those GBH babies have to be about the ugliest things ever. And their actions, a combination of submissive monkey, wild dog (submissive) and dinosaur and a human two yr old having a temper tantrum.

    I saw it again today, but I don't think I captured it very well. It was with either the parent or the sibling. I ran out of memory, while I was changing CF cards, the other heron left, not surprising at all.

    Maybe this guy is nuts! The egrets are really quite nice, IMO. But those heron babies..........bizarre.

    I think I saw, photographed, a baby Night heron the other day. I didn't know there were any. It was just miniature. Out eating. I will put it up sometime. The quality is not the best, but it was the only one I have seen.

    Thanks, Dee, John, botanist, I hope I got some luck from this. I photographed, badly with my 17-40 lens, a dragonfly today. I got it in my head that it was god telling me that things would be OK. I have trouble believing in a normal god, but I get a dragonfly to pose for a wide angle lens...........gotta be god.
