p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Great Blue Heron at Viera Wetlands


I loved the variety of birds at Viera Wetlands yet the place is not the prettiest. This set was taken as the sun was setting and in thin clouds. I was happy that I'd found a spot with nice backgrounds to set up and shoot flight.

3rd and fourth are my favs, especially the 4th one. Full wingspan and coming in to land. Every time I see one all I can think of are Pterodactyl's !

Morris, a nice set; I love the wing span, "landing gear" and lighting on the last image. I find Blue Herons challenging...well done!

Thank you Bruce,
Who knows, we only have skeletons of Pterodactyl's.

Terrific series Morrie, but that last shot is a killer.
