the elusive Green Heron.jpg

Sorry, but you need a special "lens" to get elusive Green Herons.

I know one is supposed to be quiet and all that when approaching wildlife, but after thrashing clumsily thru brambles to get closer to this bird I had to yell loudly repeatedly. to get him to turn his head a tiny bit.

(The heron was shot very near the Eco Center, but the colouring was photoshopped.)

Nikon D300
