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...
These are wonderful pictures! And he s striking different poses for you!
ReplyDeleteNice!!
ReplyDeletethe last shot is my favorite even though he is not showing his red. he is a beautiful bird and they are all great shots.
ReplyDeletelove these flashy vocalists. :)
ReplyDeleteA fine series of pictures of him. I like the fluffed feathers showing the red trim. A fine post.
ReplyDeletePretty. Love the sunlight on their shiny feathers. Well done.
