I did take a shot of the heron that is very much like yours. It was in
PUG, August I think. My light angle was slightly different, but not to

was at f8. That lens has a built-in hood, so it was probably fully
extended. (That's assuming I was paying attention to what I was doing
:-). Yep, the snow has receded. It's time for a photo hike.
