Greenie on a Snag

Gallery: AvianPosted August 13, 2013167 views6 comments

Wish that the perch was better, didn't obscure part of the bird and that I had a bit more room on the right. I have not been able to get any Green Heron images in several years. I found this one at pretty close range last Saturday in Bayou Sauvage. I believe that it's a first summer juvi. Cropped to 4x5 from 4/3rds original.

I think this is super. I'm surprised that there were not more comments. Great job on a very skittish bird.

Bill,
These fellows are tough to catch. This is a very nice shot. His feet on the stick almost look like a vine wrapped around a tree. Thank you for sharing.
