And the great blues in Florida seem less skittish than our herons in Wyoming. No idea why.

The lighting on this bird is exquisite! A shot you should be very proud of, Tris...you should get this one printed and framed and displayed properly on your wall!

Well caught! Really nice of him to pose so long for you I tried to photograph one of these once and spent the day chasing him around a stock pond

That must have been frustrating! The ones I'm used to in Wyoming are fairly shy. But here I've seen them hang out on the beach just ten feet away from people. Go figure.

I had to come up with something decent because this fellow posed for me endlessly. He was still there when I left. I owed him.

Are the ones in Wyoming Bluer? Do these birds get more colorful during mating season? Nice reflection here, especially at the tail--and I like his (her?) long, thin beak parallelling the frame.

Pinedrop In reply to StubFarlow [2013-01-19 01:21:55 +0000 UTC]

No, I think the Great Blues are pretty much the same everywhere. But the lighting can really alter their color in a photograph.
