Looking Good!

I'm not sure what was in this pile of pond scum, but I watched him eat it all- whew!

Kinda hard to figure this one out, just going crazy, if you decide let me know!

Very nice! The first 3 are all tack sharp, with very good poses. Green herons are beautiful, and you presented this one well.

The last one is just funny. I have know idea what it's doing, either, but I smiled when I saw that photo.

Great shot. How did you get so close, and what lens did you use. I looked at your flickr page and it said 800mm. I took this ordinary Heron yesterday with my Tamron 200-500mm, not as good as yours though:
