Many of the birds, here a Great Blue Heron, are doing their best to ignore people. The weather is now warm, and we are not the only ones around.

The above bird stood his ground as we walked by. Fishing must have been good.

Here another heron walked by us with only a small pond between.

BTW, the background brush here is a complete contradiction to the heron. Harsh sun was on the greens. The heron came out well. I liked it, my wife not so much.

I don’t have the manual settings handy but it may be worth a little research. I hit harsh light all the time.
