Nice photos for it being cloudy. Birds are notoriously difficult to photograph.

There's a heron rookery in the trees between the canal lock and the lake behind my house;
I'll have to get pictures if they're back this season.

Thank you. The little nikon 775 does a good job, and has impressed me at times. I probably could have played with the exposure and made the pics better, but couldn't stop snapping long enough..

Yes, birds are tough to get. And the deer only show up at the swamp on days I don't take the camera.

The herons have returned to these nests for 3 years straight. Before discovering the nests, I had never before seen nesting herons.
