Hi folks. when I took this pic in the fall, I called it 'Ebony & Ivory'. It's a great blue heron and a great egret. The great blue heron are here all season long on our little lake. the great egret was just passing thru migrating. the pair of them spent some time together off and on for about a week. it's my understanding that various types of herons will form a flock together.

I don't have the spectacular photography that some of you have. need more practice and probably a better camera :0)

linthicum, I'd never seen a green heron either. they're very pretty. this particular great blue was a really big one. spectacular!
