Post by: cbrugman on May 04, 2013, 09:08:33 PM

My first encounter with a GBH and it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately shooting through a fence for the fishing portion but I'll take it.

Prior to taking this picture his shoulders were totally visible. I'm not sure how they cover them up like this but I thought it was cool.

Excellent pictures of the Heron, and since I have the same lens on my Canon I know what is possible.
Love that bird yoga!
