While I always like to get multiple species in the same photograph this would still be pretty dull without the shadows here. Reflections didn’t hurt either.
Shadows can add depth to a scene like this.
When I spotted the light direction I thought the shots could be good. Fortunately I had just enough room to lean over without crashing down into the middle of them. Nasty looking mud and water down there.
Lovely image. Is tri-colored heron similar to Purple heron?
Don’t know the Purple Heron, but they are closest to the Great Blue Heron. Thanks for stopping by.
