On my last trip out with the canoe, back in September, I came across this most cooperative Green Heron. It did not care at all that I was hanging out watching it hunt. It was a fun challenge, maneuvering around as quietly and methodically as I could in order to get the right light on the bird and the best background possible.

Thank you for stopping by.

Excellent photos of the Green Heron, that is a female Green Heron, I believe, we have them up here in the Summer. Always a rare treat to see, and you know you are in the heart of a swamp when you see this bird.
Nicely done, Bill. Pretty nice option of getting close.
