After a while you learn which spots certain birds favor. These branches, over water, are the small Herons favorite.
It must be high enough that any passing Alligator either doesn’t see them, or only the biggest can reach.
Any people on the trails are easily seen also.
A place to get some decent shots if the Heron is in the mood.
We don’t have green herons where I live. I wish we have these birds.
Great looking bird and very nicely photographed!
They are one of the prettier, and smaller, Herons. Shy like most.
The top heron photo is such a pretty portrait.. just lovely!
Thanks so much 😀. They are beautiful birds, yet the darker colors can be hard show well. That light background (water) makes the difference.
