I have been waiting awhile to find one of these and this was the morning that it happened. Yes!!!! This is a Green Heron - a juvenile that had just caught a fish.

Nice capture Mary. Lovely and sharp and he's got lovely colouring which you've brought out nicely

Great feeling isnt it when you get what you set out to get! These are amazing birds and you should be pleased with yourself for this capture.

Thanks Bev and Maureen- I was pleased to get this bird- not the most inspired of shots but at least I got one. I had been told that the best way to see these was to go out in a canoe or kayak- not something I am about to do ( picture the boat tipping over and the camera equipment sinking to the lake bottom- not a pleasant picture) so I was thrilled to get this such as it is.
