Or Green Heron, stopped by for a fish lunch. Saw him last year, but could never get the crest.

terrific shots-what great colors and plumage. When it comes to feathers, you rock!

Plumes d'attirer des plumes!

What a beautiful bird and a nicely captured photograph!

The shot in the middle is beautiful! Maybe you should change your orange for green

One more. His neck is like coiled snake waiting to strike.

I think he has posed before. He has looks and moves of a pro....

It's as if he's posing for the photograph! Not shy at all.

300mm lens helps. And then cropped.

Beautiful! This is my favorite. I have a 300mm lens as well... where did you see this guy?

I saw bananaquits last year but did not know about sugar water to lure them in. I will definitely give that a try.

That book is also spectacular. Thanks everyone!
