I've always understood that these are Great Blue Herons. My bird book is old but the big difference other than the color and much shorter neck ( for the Green Heron) is the size of the bird. Green Herons are 16 to 22" in height. The GBH is 42" - 52".


I see. No way to compare other than by memory. The bird was not too far away. It was not that large. The female photog next to me agreed that it did not appear to be a GBH. Green Heron is closest. I might be swayed if decent shots of juveniles were available. Looking now.

Remembered my DSLRs this time-D500 with 500pF attached & D850 with 300pF attached. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. High wind from the East kept the birds all flying low and very fast. About 51 F-very cool for this time of year. Not much activity but I did manage to capture a few good shots. The great light allowed me to keep ISOs delightfully low.

The Bald Eagle flew about 25 feet from my head. Just outside the 500pF min focus distance!

My first Green Heron. A pair actually. Fun to watch them move from spot to spot looking for fish.

Tote is some kind of cargo ship hauling what I do not know. I like the mountains in the background.

Driftwood is all over the place on the beach at Point-No-Point.

Red Hot Pokers just blooming.

Caspian Tern flew, actually almost hovered next to me in the wind.

The last shot is a Bald Eagle searching the beach as it was low tide. He had no luck during the time I was there.

No otter the time.

Download and enjoy!
