GBH and Oh sorry Harry A Night Heron

[bfjr]

Honest wasn't looking for one just saw him sittin in this tree flew down once while I was gettin set (of course :wxwax). The GBH and NHeron seemed to hang together but were pretty leary of my persence kept about 50 yards out no matter what I did. Anywho here the shots that past the trash :D

You did it, Ben, a mighty fine GBH and a NBH, too. So well exposed and sharp.

You are like me, you have green stuff, I assume algae, mine is algae.

This place is hopping, I looked at it last night and the whole page had different posts from when I looked before. I was deleting stuff off of my hard drive, couldn't stop to "talk". Bad me.

I did think: gosh with all these birds, I don't have to go out this weekend, not for my birds. Then I came across a shot, deleted it, of course, from last winter, on a birder thing. Saw the tree where all my birds were nesting, except it was brown and barren. Don't know where the birds go, but it was a sad sight.

I wonder if Harry has Night Herons and just set us up with this hysteria. Then he might pull out a bunch..............and they will be gorgeous, too.

Anyway, wanted to say "Good Great Blue and Good Night"

g (it is morning, but that is a good line):D

Good series Ben. Even if you had to include two of those birds taht I won't mention again. The shots have a green tone is that the way it was or was your wb off?

Hi Ben,

Now ya' got Harry ruffled... you got a critique out of him!:rofl He is right though, it is a tad green on some of the birds. Although you're still doing better than me on capturing a night heron. Here's my best shot of one in flight...

:D :scratch :rofl :uhoh :giggle :lol3 :huh :oogle :lol4 :haha :lol :bash :confused
