lock and dam #1 (again)

[davev]

No Falcons today. Just herons and egrets. There were 1/2 a dozen egrets and a ton of herons there today.
I blew out the whites on the egrets, so the pics with them have been
converted to B&W. The pics are only so-so. Tough time of the day to shoot.

Thanks Luckydog.

I like the toe in the water also. There were a lot of young herons there on
that day, and it showed the way that some of them flew.

Thanks audi, and welcome to the forum.

Dave,

That 4th shot is fantastic. :clap

[davev]

Thanks Harry.
That was a popular spot. One heron would move out, another would move right in.
