The only bird found this morning @ my spot I tried to get as close as I could given
the spot where he was alot of mud, and well he was partially covered by some brush
so it was take the two shots or don't take them at all.

Nothing special but here's the two shot's

Still great shots Provo, I'd be real happy with either of these- I Never seem to be able to capture blue herons. #1 is my fave as well, great job!:)

Great shots !!!

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Thanks everyone I walked around for about 1hr on the 30th in my spot
I really was trying to capture the elusive king fisher but this bird
is a very scared bird upon even getting a glimpse from a distance of you he takes off.

So walking back to the car I spotted one of the many blue herons at the edge
of the canal lock I if I got any closer I would be in the water trying to shoot
towards him like submarines periscope :rofl:
So these are the only two I got

What do you think should I start a photo safari from this spot I keep going to??
Just kidding but I love going here just waiting for the spring to come
then I will be here daily looking for different birds to shoot can't wait.
