From the Heron Park

These photos are from the Heron and Eagle Viewing place that is north of Danville, Illinois.  I never know what to call the place....I find it called different things on the web. 
I was on the  boardwalk and he was out ahead of me about 12-15 feet.  When I first saw him, he did his call...you  know.  The one where they swell/fluff their wings out big and you can see all the red on it...I trained my lens on him, and eased on up.  I was so hoping he would cooperate and do another call.
It did do this number though...
And I got closer to it than I have been to one...
