Wading Blue Heron (shy).
This photo taken using tripod mounted 500 f4. Mid-day bright sunlight. PhotoShop: Some cropping, levels and unsharp mask.I only got one picture; Great Blue Herons are quite shy in this part of the country. They usually fly off at the first sign of people. For some reason this one was wading around in a busy park. As soon as I pointed my lens his way he waded around the corner to a more secluded spot though.
