hehe, goofy looking thing.
I always thought these guys migrated south, but have seen some pics recently of them on the ice. Hmmmm.

Wow. How did you pull that photo off? Very cool! 

[Fishhuntmike]

They aren't too spooky at the duck pond where people feed the ducks.  400mm f5.6 + 1.4 tamron teleconverter (560mm).

They are here on the Westside year around.  They will stay as long as they can find food in ponds or fields.

I've had a heck of a time trying to photograph herons.  Great shot!

How far away were you?  Off a tripod?

[Fishhuntmike]

It was maybe 15 feet away in a tree.  Braced handheld shot.

I thinkd the trick is to lay on your back with a frog in your mouth and then have the camera ready.  You have to be quick when big bird snatches the frog out of your mouth.

   You could hold a mouse by the tail with your teeth, might give you more time.
