Hello,
Visited a local garden here in Wilmington, NC and there are usually a lot of birds of many kinds, hanging around their ponds. Wonderful place to shoot. Settings are on each image. Thank you for looking!

All are beautiful. Number 2 is the best capture of a Great Blue Heron that I believe I have seen. I lived on a yacht in the Blaine WA marina for 10 years. The Herons roamed the docks in the evenings looking for the fish that were attracted to the lights. If you came home in the dark you had better be prepared. They would remain motionless until you were near. They would leap into the air with the most unnerving racket. They must still have some prehistoric dinosaur blood in their veins by the sounds they made.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much. It is unnerving to hear them sometimes, especially in the darkness or semi darkness. :-)

Thank you everyone! Yes, I hadn't heard of this site until last week when an ad for it showed up in my FB feed. In any case, I'm really just feeling my way around this site, and seeing how responses work, etc. Thanks so much for the kind comment(s)!
