Really like this view - especially the way the feathers stand out. I didn't know they had those black "whisker like feathers" on top. I have one too in my images that doesn't have these.Cathy Howell 16 Jan 2008

I must say I am very jealous. I live on Lake Huron in Michigan and there is a Great Blue Heron that lives along the shore and apperently he/she is very camera shy. I can't get a photo to save my soul!!! Is a there a trick to it?Gabriele Swanson 10 Jan 2008
