Green Heron
I was trying to get some pictures of another bird when this guy flew out of the tall cattails and up in a tree. The feathers on him are incredible colors.
I am a big fan of this image a day trend we have going here. I keep stumbling across them. I wish there were a place we could all list ours. Nice shots and great gallery. Thanks for sharing.

on April 29, 2008oooh, super. These guys have really long necks too, which you don't see when they're hunched like this. They're like transformers.

on April 29, 2008Thanks everyone. Rick, yes it is nice when they pose. Usually the in so much clutter from the trees and branches you can't even tell they are there. I got a shot of his head dress to but not the whole body so I opted for this one.
