Skittish Great Blue Heron Flies Away

I spotted him driving so I stopped and tried to sneak up on him, and knowing the skittish big boy might take flight, I set shutter to 1/1600 sec. SS should have been faster, maybe.
The first picture cropped from 30mp down to 8mp, the second 30mp down to 12mp.

Nice images but I doubt you spotted him driving since birds can't get a license to drive.

Nicely done. Love the position of the bird in the second and pretty good light on him as well. Seems like the shutter speed was sufficient. Perhaps faster might have resulted in a little sharper image, but the flight shot is nice.

That second photo is just right! I love that the heron is in flight but close to the water. Good job!
