Description

the nice part of the Washougal River Greenway project is that it provides a wonderful habitat for all sorts of birds and animals. in this shot, we see a beautiful heron falpping his/her wings. the most amazing part of this scene is that he/she started this only after I stopped my bike and got my camera out and started taking pictures. After about five shots, I put my cmaera away and the heron stopped the wing flapping. This is dedicated to Denise as she has so much fun trying to capture a heron on her camera.... I'll be posting a cropped shot in the nest upload Thanks to all who welcomed me back. I really appreciate it. My uploads will still be sporatic but for the next couple of weeks, I will be very busy, if not going insane due to work and other commitments Mike

What a stunning scene, Mike; I wish they showed off for me the way they do for you. The herons around here are amazingly shy! Thanks so much for the dedi, I really appreciate being remembered!

It gets really hard to keep up with galleries. I've said it before.. dunno how you all keep up with so many people commenting on your work. I can't seem to create and do galleries .. one of the other suffers. And I don't even work. I can't imagine working, coming home and taking care of things here, AND finding time to cover galleries and create! I really like the shots you get from here, and this is another great one.
