An encounter with a Green Heron. Mr. MB and I were on a photo-walkabout along the Mississippi River at Coon Rapids Dam Park when we spotted this green heron wading in the shallows and spearing minnows. Surprisingly, he flew into the tree behind us directly overhead. He was not camera shy either.

Superb shots DL, that's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these I've tried to get close to has been very camera shy. Great work.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was not very well awake... such a fun bird that we can spot over here too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a rascal. He looks like a cartoon character.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great images...
ReplyDeleteWe've got a number of heron where we live. I have to make it a point to go out and photograph them. (Or at least make an attempt to.) Very nice shots, both of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. His coloring is interesting and you've captured it so well.
ReplyDeleteRight time, right place! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteRisking a breakdown of my computer I leave a comment...LOL. I love the second photo of the Huron. Great colors! I've never seen them so close-up! Does MB mean your neighbor ?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Oooh, I've never seen a green one! Nice shots.
