Gorgeous Green Heron

Started out for Alton Baker Park but when I got there is was raining. So I decided to go on to Delta Ponds where the sky looked a bit brighter. I got my walk in there, although getting a bit wet. But hey, I was rewarded with this shot of a Green Heron. We don't see many of them, and only at certain times a year, unlike the Great Blue Heron, which we see year round.

The power of it's concentration is very obvious in the pic. So much to see in this pic, the bird, the lily pads, the clarity of the water showing his feet on a log or rock.

Really nice capture, Vern. I like how the lily pads frame the heron. Super comp.

Good thing you had the extra reach of the 70-300 on the V2. These guys tend to be shy.
