It's amazing what you can get from a college pond. I mean there I was watching the ducks taking bathes and here comes along a green heron! He was only a couple feet from me. I slowly turned my camera/tripod towards him and started to shoot a few dozen pictures. He was too close! So stupid me started to step back slowly. His eyes got big! OMG it's a human! I guess he thought I was a tree. LOL A big Oak Tree.  |

Nice Grackle! Even 'weed' birds can be beautiful when pictured with care. C. |

When he flew in at the duck ramp he didn't notice me because I was so still like a tree. On the other hand, I think he had his eye on the baby ducklings. | |

Wow! Your best IQ yet. That's so close, I think you could have got them to sign model releases! ;) --------------------------- My Photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shadow-hunter/ New blog! http://shadow-image.blogspot.com/ |
