Hi Ann Good to here you back, are you sure they're Great Bluie Herons? All the information I have points to grey. Maybe it's a geographical thing. Thanks for the comments, I went back yesterday but only got a fleeting glance of the Heron. I was really looking to catch the elusive Kingfishers there but no luck, came away with a photo of a Damselfly amongst others.
Best regards, John ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of ann sanfedele [[email protected]] Sent: 25 April 2009 14:41 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: PESO: Grey Heron JOhn and Joseph... Just for the record, these guys you both shot are Great Blue Herons... even though, as we all can see, they have more gray than blue... One of my favorite big birds... Joseph, I like that bottom one better --- book-end effect of birdies John ... got him nice and close - too bad you were there before the good light - go back :-) ann - who is back herself for a bit...
