Description
This is a Green-backed Heron. Both sides are the same bird. In the right side photo - s/he was looking for bugs on those tuberous roots when there was a loud noise. All of a sudden, on the left photo, s/he had a long neck and was looking all around for danger. In 30 seconds, s/he was back in the original position looking for bugs again. In the 11 years that I have been walking in the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, I have not seen this before. They are about 18 inches (46cm) long and with a wingspan of 26 inches (66cm). Photo taken October 2009.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments.
They are very much appreciated.

Very cool captures, Dana! marvelous bird Denise (MrsRatbag) would be so jealous of these captures
Excellent clear captures of this beautiful Heron. His colouring is very beautiful and it was great that you got two such different shots.
Wow, this is amazing. I'm surprised to see how they can crane their neck as high as that. Thank you so much, Dana. You're just like a well of geographical information!
very nice....
beautifull bird :)
Terrific clarity, color and textures in the shots of this handsome waterfowl, Dana. Did it know that you were in the vicinity taking pics of it hunting for grub? And are these long range captures? It's been my experience that egrets, herons, etc., spook real easy and take off when I approach them for a picture.
What a beautiful bird! I have never seen one in the wild. You are very lucky to have these wonderful shots. They are like great paintings. Wonderful to see.
wonderful bird!!
Wow! They can really stetch thier necks. :) Great capture!
OHHH...Dana this is amazing, fabulous photo, amazing sharpness and details, loved it a lot!
~Really nice captures!~
I AM so jealous; these live around here too, but are incredibly shy and rarely seen, much less photographed in hunting and elongated state! Great captures!
This is lovely Dana. My total Heron photo count is 1 so far but I'm on the lookout for more!
Nicely captured and presented!

OLD TallPockets once thought that HE had 'tuberous roots', also! Luckily, it was only 'vericose veins'. SMILES. EXCELLENT as per your usual!!
