Great Blue in Flight 1

I enjoy photographing birds, especially birds-in-flight. Trouble is, like most wildlife, birds tend to go away from you not towards you. Thus I usually get a bunch of butt shots that tend to clutter up my hard drive. Well recently there were a couple of Great Blue Herons that decided it was ok to fly towards, or at least by me, so I got a couple of clean shots of these magnificent birds flying. I'll post those pics over the next couple days.

a rare opportunity indeed, and adeptly captured...they are wary creatures, and seldom let one get very close..

Excellent in-flight capture of this heron. I'm glad he decided you were OK.
