Pelle, I didn't even notice that. The photo was not cropped at all. That's how close I was. I blew it up to 100% and it is not a band. It's actually a reflection or plant growth that meets exactly where his leg meets the water. But, it sure looks like a ring .......
Here's a shot from directly over his head ........
His coloring is lovely!
Gorgeous birds Linth, like the coloration on the green Heron too.
I have Heron envy Linth...and I have to clean up the drool off of my keyboard now!
LOL Nanny
Yah, those Green Herons are so cool. Thanks.
Thanks, everyone. I'm still sorting through today's photos. Here's another immature Little Blue Heron (hope you don't get tired of seeing them) heading downward ..........
Last one for tonight .....
Here is the Green Heron looking up at me (sorta silly looking). He/she was so close his/her head is a little blurred ..... I think this was a young one because he/she was so little in comparison to others that I have seen and photographed.
I've never understood why they are green herons when they are so brown except mainly for the heads. when we lived in CT 30 yrs ago one hung out next to our small pond. Probably after the frogs & sunfish.
Pell, I would have said almost everything Linthicum did, to improve your stop motion shots, except one. I almost never have enough light to shoot at 1/1000 of a second. We are now at the twelfth consecutive day of intermittent showers and heavy cloud cover. Most of the pictures I shot today, during a break between showers, were shot at at 1/100 sec. @ F 3.6. Under such poor light conditions there is no hope of taking a good crisp shot, of a moving target. This shot is the best of three, I accidentally caught of a Jay in flight, with the camera set to shoot bursts of 3 shots. Can't stop the motion with such a slow shutter speed.
Linthicum, as usual your pictures are superb.
Amazing shots everyone! Here's a group of gulls at a local park. I love how they all face the same way :)
I think a Muscovy duck.
The cygnets are growing up.
Wonderful pics knip!! I wastrying to figure out what type of gulls they were and they might be Herring Gulls but I'm not positive. Here's the page from the UK site see what you think.

Love the Muscovy and Cygnet which is getting big!
I think the gulls are juvenile black headed gulls.
Here's my favourite goose :)
Beautiful goose!
I'm going to let this thread run a little longer then I'll start the next vol. of Daily Pics.
It was Resins turn but this one went faster than we thought it would and he isn't back from his offline time.
Actually I think my gulls just have their winter plumage rather than being juveniles. Here's a duck I didn't know the name of.
Nice colors and soft look to that one. Nice pic knip!
I'm going to start the next vol., be right back.
Great thread everyone! Here's the link to the next volume of Daily Pics.
