Herons are the epitome of grace in spite of their ungainly proportions. Great photos, as usual.

If I were a little bitty crab, one of those thing coming after me would probably be like a 60-story tyranasaurus!

Okay now that's twice in the last few days I've stumbled on one of your pic threads. Your work is stunning.
Do you have room for one more on your ping list?

It was very cloudy, sea fog starting in. I set the saturation on high, it is easier to desaturate a bit than to replace color not in the image. I'm never as pleased with the result, full sunlight can't be beat.First of all, great composition of the heron. Have you tried adjusting your white balance setting? Also, a warming filter might help in this situation.

Please put me on your ping list, these photos are really gorgeous! I was graced with a number of GBHs in my house on a creek near Ithaca for many years, and love to watch them, both live and in photos.
I'm neither a professional photographer nor birder, strictly amateur. But FWIW my "totem animal" has always been the Wood Duck...
Thanks,

Stunning photos! Whenever I see one flying I think of pterodactyls.

Nice. We have herons nearby, as well, and they are quite vocal when disturbed. I get quite a kick out of their indignang squawking.

The third picture, especially, is a great portrait. Are you concealed when you shoot? The birds never look startled or nervous about you being there.

Color changes are stunning. Thanks for the explanation...all would have been unknown to me as I observed these shots.

Oh - HERON. My quick read of the title said HEROIN; what the hell is tri-colored heroin. A new designer drug?
