One of the many Blue Herons along the East Twin (Two Rivers). You really can't get close to these birds as they fly away.

Through the magic of telephoto lens and cropping here is a closer image, taken from about the same distance as the prior picture.
|
Not a super picture, but Mother Goose for real.
|
Here are the male guards, upset by my presence.
|
Fearless adventurer - check out neat reflection in the sun glasses.

The male guard - warning me away.
|
I couldn't get a good focus on a takeoff, but this was the best I could get.
|
Again, telephoto and cropping. The herons in flight look like pterodactyls.
|
This was probably my most irresponsible action - I wanted to get a better picture of Mother Goose and she flew away. After moving further away I watched her return to the nest so no opportunistic birds took advantage of the unguarded eggs.
