Blue Heron
 I've been trying for a week to get a shot of this bird. Each time it was around, by the time I got my camera he was gone. Finally got this shot today. Unfortunately, I had the wrong lens on my Nikon, so this was a manual focused shot. Not as sharp as I'd like, but still pretty cool. It's a young Blue Heron. The older they get, the more gray they become. http://img.gg/7AFNvpR

Nice shot mate.
Serious question - as a witch, how do you cope with the shutter release being on the wrong side for you? I couldn't imagine working my camera with my left hand.

Yeah, the jpg's were too large for the forum, so the link is the one to use.

Beautiful shot Randy. The blue is almost as brilliant as those hoodys you showed off a while back.

Nice picture, thanks to the model :o). I wish we had more colourful birds up here in the north. Herons, but not blue ones, have been seen increasingly during the past 20 years, and they've started nesting in Finland, too. There's an estimated population (during summer) now of 700-1000 pairs, only about 100 in the 90's.
Owls are my favourite birds.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

I'm always interested to see the differences in the bird species that side of the Atlantic compared to our natives, I don't even know what the thing you guys call a 'Robin' is, it is so different to what we call a 'Robin'. But this is sure a Heron and I ain't never seen me one that's blue before, and that fella truly is blue. Stunningly beautiful, you wouldn't want to see him around if you had a well-stocked fish pond...

So you're saying that the birds on your side of the Atlantic are different than ours? What about the jars? Are those different too?

Great pic Randy. Amazing colour, all the herons I've seen have been a dull grey. The sight of one being 'mugged' by 8 guinea fowl was quite memorable though.

Hey James my old friend. How are you? Here in upstate NY, the young heron are a blueish tint for about the first six months or so. You can't really see it til they fly. They start to turn gray before they are a year old. Randy
