Little Green Heron

Every once in a while I capture an image that really wows me. Of all the photographs I create I can honestly say only about 1 a month is one I'm really proud of. This is one of those images.

This Little Green Heron was perched on the edge of a fence looking out over the water. I was able to get into a position where I could eliminate the fence and make use of the water for a backdrop.

These little birds are very shy and usually hide pretty well. They're hard to spot since they're rarely out in the open. I got lucky with this one.
