Description
This immature green heron was walking around the logs and rocks looking for dinner. I grabbed my camera and shot off a few rounds, lucking into this one. I added textures to bring out the details in the heron. This is the first and last time I've ever seen a green heron here. I took this image in the Texas panhandle.

I haven't gotten to see any Green Herons since I moved down to the San Diego area. I do miss them. Gorgeous capture. Love those details.

Green Herons are such beautiful birds. Skittish, but well worth the time it takes to get a capture. Great capture.

What a perfect moment, with the slight cock of the bird's head giving the image such immediacy and life. Gorgeous atmosphere and harmonies in this outstanding and beautiful photo! Love it! fav
