That's really something Corky.
We have them all Summer here at the cottage, but, they are very wary and usually take off if we're closer that 100 feet.
Nice work my friend.

Thanks very much Pierre and so glad that you liked, and yes, ours are very wary also. We were at a campsite beside a fairly large stream or inlet that connected directly into Lake Okeechobee and only stayed one night. I was up before light the next morning hoping to see some birds and as visibility gradually increased I could faintly see some white spots in the trees across the stream from us. As they became more visible it was unbelievable! There were Great, Snowy and Cattle Egrets, White Ibis and then with a little more light I could make out,several Brown Pelicans, Cormorants, Black Vultures and some others that I really could not identify, as many began to leave their roost very early. It was only after visibility was much better that I could make out the Great Blue Herons.

Thanks Linda, but I have other captures that show them quite a distance apart. Will they move away from the nest as they mature? This is terrible---I thought that they were making love and now find out instead that they were making war! lol

Great shots Swamp-Cork! :thumbup: Where in Florida did you take these?
I'll be taking a tour around the state early next year. I'll be mostly on the east coast but any suggestions of good photo opportunities would be helpful. Specifically, I'll be spending some time around the upper keys, West Palm Beach, St. Augustine and Orlando.
