For years now, I've watched you folks post great shots of herons in and around a rookery.
Well, I was pointed in the direction of one a week ago, so now I can post a few also.
The best part about the place is the last two hours of the day give you the best light on it.
Sometimes things just come together.
1) She's there, just way down in the nest.

7) Hmmm, where did I leave that nest?

That's it. (for now)
All shots taken with a Canon 7D with a Canon 300 f2.8is lens with a 2X tc between them.
Thanks for looking.
