@ Randy's Personally I think you have captured four excellent images of the Blue Heron, the foilage only adds to it IMHO. @ Misha In Florida it is very common to see these guys wherever there is water! (and there is a lot of water here!!!) When we go surf fishing we have to sit something on top of the bait buckets and the coolers because the blue herons and the great white egrets will steal your bait and your catch right out of the bucket or cooler! (yes they are kind of brazen!) Not to mention the Pelicans and the seagulls that sit and wait just knowing you will toss them something! I have had the best luck capturing wildlife such as water birds using bait, a cheap investment for what could be a big reward. If I were trying to capture a pic of say a raccoon all I would have to do is leave a cooler with food in it, and they will come and raid it! (they opened my dad's cooler and drank of all things, his Gatorade!!! ;) Shooting deer with your cam? (I am thinking Wisconsin!?) You might try putting out some corn in areas where you know they travel, after doing this for a while, sit back and wait, upwind from where you have baited (cause they can smell humans). Takes a little patience, but the payoff is well worth it! Most animals think of their belly first, just like most men I know! LOL! @ Chelle You can't adjust that monitor? No adjustments on the exterior? What about the control panel? There has to be a way... :-S Brenda :)
