Egret & Green Heron in Humber Marshes

[Brian Bailey]

Bird Activity was fairly quiet in the Humber Marshes on Saturday.  one Great Egret posed nicely for photos:

I drifted so close I had to zoom out!  Then, I still managed to back slowly out again without the egret ever moving from his perch.

Later I found a similarly cooperative Green Heron.  I got stuck in the mud before I could test the limits of close approach.


I missed the stab, but got the re-positioning toss, and the clamp down:

Nice work.

Thanks.  I find that many birds appear less threatened by a kayak and tolerate much closer approach than they would if I was on foot, particularly if I can drift slowly toward them.

Beautiful!
