4/5: Great Blue Heron

I have no idea if this is a great blue heron or not, but it seemed like a good name for it. I was shooting photos of a kid in a park and two of these beautiful birds soared up out of the lake right over my head. I got this at only 112mm so you can see how close he was. I'm not much of a birder, but I was pleased with this shot. Two more below.

You lucky b.. I have "my own" heron, which I'm trying to shot (with the camera). This is as close as I have ever gotten:http://www.pbase.com/toreide/image/39504941 Rather pathetic, really.

Great shots, Jeremy. And great reflexes to get these so quickly!

Actually I think this is a ring tailed goldfish stealing Heron - hahaha. Whatever it is, you've done an amazing job to get such a good shot because it looks like it's moving fast.

I was expecting to look and admire a lens out of my range, but no! Very nice capture.

That's a brilliant capture my friend.
Good one.

Perfect image - I love how aerodynamic this bird is, with even his feet streamlined out.
