Heron On A Dock 20080823

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)

A surprisingly unskittish heron that caught me with the wrong lens on the camera,
but was letting me get quite close until a loud motorboat went screaming up the river
on the other side of the grass just as I was trying to get the telephoto on the camera.

Photographed near Lindsay, Ontario Canada.

Very nicely composed Gordon. I am surprised that you got that close with a 17-85...don't you just love when those things happen.

We all share those moments from time to time. An excellent composition and a very good environmental image.
