Green Heron

A fav because it's another great example of the importance of serendipity. I was in the hide waiting for the Kingfisher while hand-holding the big lens shooting Wood Ducks in the sun, and this guy popped out of nowhere. A rare visitor, I was totally unprepared and had to adjust the manual exposure on the fly - very exhilarating.
