Captured this morning at Rotary Park Marsh in Ajax.













Then they spent some time fishing together.

WOW!!! Really like this entire series... and the two for one shot... fabulous!

I find the GB Heron looks so primitive in that first shot (dare I say almost prehistoric)... great and interesting captures!

Very impressive series Attila.  I saw both birds Sunday morning.  Seeing shots like this motivates me to keep trying!

Thanks Moira and Colin, I appreciate the kind words.

Everyone - went back today and there were 4 great egrets present with 3 great blue herons.  Managed to get more landing photos of one of the great egrets (same one as above - has a band in the same place) which I'll post here in this thread as soon as I can.

I always enjoy your photos of "birds" - both the feathered and metal kind.  :D
