@Elena Kotrotsou: Thanks. It's a challenge to get as close as I'd like though, and I had to crop some irrelevant background out of this one.

A compo like yesterday, and another great shot. I'm really envious on your wild life.

@MadScientist: Heron's are pretty common around here. It's a challenge to get as close as I'd like though, and I had to crop some irrelevant background out of this one.

Herons have recently moved up my list list of favorite creatures . . there is a strong connection to prehistory about them and their intelligence is unnerving. Lovely heron moment here.

@Ronnie 2¢: They are very common around here and I sometimes feel like I'm taking an easy shot when I photograph them. Still, it is somewhat of a challenge to get as close as I would like. I would liked to have gotten closer here, but took what I could get --and in this case I cropped away some of the irrelevant background.
