Blue Heron Caught In Willow Tree

When I was at Beacon Hill Park the other day I spotted this Blue Heron in a Willow tree having a nap. It didn't take long for the Heron to wake up and I tried my best to get as close as possible to get a decent snap of this wonderful bird. I have in the past tried to get good shots of them, but my light wasn't very good or they were too far away for my camera. I'm happy with the shot I got of this magnificent bird. I went back to work yesterday...man was it hard after being off sick for a week. I got tired fast and easy and it was smokin busy. Life on a Surgical floor...Tonight I will catch up will all of you and see what you've been up too. Till then have a wonderful day everyone!!!

  3. Crista fantastic shots of this great bird. I can never get as close as you did here. Fantastic. Love love love these. Carol

    Glad you're back at work. Ooooh, a surgical nurse or tech, not an easy job and if you're doing a second job, ooooh, I'm feeling for you girl.

  7. Hi Crista,
    This is a beautiful set of portraits. Gorgeous... We have two grey herons turning around Reykjavik now, but herons are quite rare over here!!

  9. These are wonderful! You must have been ultra sneaky to do such a great close-up job.

  10. John ~ Thank you for your fabulous compliment!!

    Chris ~ Interesting to note that you don't have Heron's often there...I would have thought they would be there in your neck of the woods simply because of the abundance of ocean shores for fishing.

    Laura ~ Thank you my dear he is very handsome indeed. :)

    Mary ~ I'm sneaky don't kid yourself...lol or as sneaky as a 6 foot woman can be. :)
