Hi folks,

Florida has been swamped with rain this entire month, making any decent shooting almost impossible. today the sun broke out for a few hours and I decided to make a quick trip to the wetlands.

I believe this is a juv green heron? never saw this before..Is my guess correct?

    Some people are like slinkies... not really good for anything, but it's still fun to watch them tumble down the stairs.:rofl
