Early Morning Heron

I spotted this blue heron on an early morning shoot. The point of

going out on this morning was to find some cranes or herons, but I

couldn't see any, and I was running out of the magic hour light.

All of a sudden this guy pops out of some tall grass and takes

flight. With my camera on the tripod a start shooting feverishly,

this is the result.

I also caught an osprey shortly after this shot in the same marsh...

it is in my nature portfolio if you care to take a look.

Cheers! And thanks for looking.
