[dlanter]

Very nice Dave as all your shots are.. #3 is my favorite but #4 made me laugh. When I first looked at #2 I didn't scroll down enough and only saw the part above the branch.

[Glassman]

I like #4, the rest are good but I like #4 cause it has the Eagle look....<g

[jfoureyes]

Another excellent series Dave! Of course I like #2 the best... my kind of stuff!!

[corralup]

As many times I saw these guys last year I didn't know they had such a long neck.
I hope to capture some of these guys tomorrow at BBSP.

[inmotion]

Absolutely stunning. I like #2 the best though.

[ttusa]

WOW what a great series, Dave!

[mjdmike]

Excellent series Dave, unique 'poses' and all are sharp. You need to send that guy this way - I've yet to get a nice Green Heron shot. Interesting group of photos.

[DigitalScape]

Nice series Dave (along with the commentary - the green heron whisperer)

[Butor]

Wonderful serie!! Great shoots! I'm jaleous !

[Dave In La]

Thank you for the comments friends

And Sandy, their necks are incredibly long, I will post some real
stretch shots sometime

Dave, everyone else took my comments. Except that this guy has some bad foot fungus.LOL : )

[lhdvies]

Nice Dave!! They are definitely the clowns of the Heron world. Never a dull moment when they are "on the prowl" (Well sometimes when they "freeze" for several moments before the strike, it can get trying)-Like the last one best.
Cameron Prairie used to be loaded with these guys, but they haven't quite recovered from the latest storms yet.

[Dave In La]

thank you James and Leon, I often wonder if the greenies return to same habitats....like Cameron

[slickshooter]

Really cool shots Dave
Can't wait till they return here.
