Green Herons Galore

What began as a fishing trip morphed into a documentary style project that transitioned into a bird study outing. I saw not one, not two, but many green herons. Of the green herons, two were very tolerant of this guy in a canoe. One of them never did show being wary. Camera sounds, me moving, and even my voice did not seem to concern the two birds. The experience was amazing.

Birders and wildlife photographers will tell you seeing green herons from a distance is not all that difficult. Getting frame-filling pictures can be a different story. I eventually just left the birds after shooting many pictures. I appreciated their patience with me so I let them do what green herons do… catch fish and frogs.
