I've never really seen anything like this before!
On our way to visit @provider yesterday, we passed a series of ponds. There was an amazing amount of birds in the water, and we saw a large quantity of Great Blue Herons. There were a variety of other birds too, but I'll share more photos later. Here are some of the ones I took yesterday. They make me want to head back over there and try to take some more photos, when I have more time. We will see. Enjoy the photos!
This photo is amazing! I love the reflection on the water and the ripples. Not to mention the background is superb. I could see this photo being in a wildlife magazine like 'National Audubon'. Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing these pictures!


F.Y.I. It is now the background on my computer until something else catches my fancy. It might be awhile. This photo is truly captivating.

They eat fish, frogs, snakes, small turtles, tadpoles, and a variety of fish, plus other things too probably.

We were pretty close, well close enough to get these shots anyway. At least the camera zoom makes up for it.

The Blue Herons are very stately. We have quite a few Blue Herons in our area but I have never seen so many in one place. They tend to be quite solitary and hide in the bushes. Great pictures.

I've never seen so many so close either. Probably due to limited open water.

I have only seen this in movies. Wow. Amazing view. You always manage to capture them well. I love the one you captured, at the take off. The reflection on the water makes it nicer. Well done Papa.

I really like the blue-grey you captured on the wings of the heron in flight. They are beautiful birds. I also like the photo of the duck flying past the herron. Nice photos, @papa-pepper.

Really, that far away? That's a very impressive zoom lens for sure. It looks like your only a few feet away for some of them and not much farther than that in others. :D Very cool. :D Thanks. :D

a really beautiful blue crane, I loved it so much. In my field also many wandering storks but white, when I plow the fields, a group of white crane birds will find food in my field of fish or small worms and other small animals.

Those animal are beautiful. I do see these when I was little but more at the river bank. The birds are having some quiet time without disturbance. Your photography skill is good, it looks like a professional photographer took the photos.

These look like oil paintings. Unique, guess because of the time of year. I particularly like the one with the bird in flight and the reflection below. Super photo!
