As promised, today it's herons from the Rookery.  First, tho, a couple to show a little of the scope of the place.  This is just one tree & it's packed with Wood Storks, Great Egrets and lower down, Snowy Egrets Nesting tree.  In the next one, you can see how the birds are used to visitors, guess the photog didn't know the real opportunity was behind him, You lookin' for me? 

Now for some herons:

Green heron  Blancing Green 

Little Blue  Immature Little Blue 

Tri color ballet  Tri-Color heron pair  Tri-color heron chick 

Hope you enjoy, maybe gators next.

  • I'm with SG all the way.  Love the action you caught in 'ballet.'  But I think my favorite is the 'immature little blue.'  Although it's not nice to call him immature.  He could be very mature for his age for all you know ;-)

  • I got to see that beautiful lens up close when I get home. Sure does a nice job. Good to know that is isn't the lens that makes your shots though. They are all great. When you gonna post a bad one so we can pick on you.

    - So shoot already!!

    Fantastic shots!  Ballet is my very favorite.  What a crazy pose!  That baby has a face only a mother could love.

  • Oh, I'm glad someone said it penny!  I think baby birds are the only kind of baby that isn't just plain adorable.  They're awkward looking imo.

    Agree with you EMF.  Some are just so ugly they're cute, tho.  It really amazed me to see how prehistoric looking some of these babies were.  Or, maybe I've watched too much Jurassic Park?
