Description
the nice part of the Washougal River Greenway project is that it provides a wonderful habitat for all sorts of birds and animals. in this shot, we see a beautiful heron falpping his/her wings. the most amazing part of this scene is that he/she started this only after I stopped my bike and got my camera out and started taking pictures. After about five shots, I put my cmaera away and the heron stopped the wing flapping.
This is dedicated to Denise as she has so much fun trying to capture a heron on her camera....
I'll be posting a cropped shot in the nest upload
Thanks to all who welcomed me back. I really appreciate it. My uploads will still be sporatic but for the next couple of weeks, I will be very busy, if not going insane due to work and other commitments

I swear I wanna shoot in the same places! Wonderful capture!
The one in the pond near where I work doesn't flap as he/she's too busy getting lunch at their favorite smorgasbord. Interesting shot, Mike.
Sounds like he was putting on a performance for you, Mike! He was welcoming you back as well! Good to see you posting again, my friend! I can certainly relate to the busy/going insane part! :-P
i know how you feel mike, my life is work, work, comments, and creating. nice shot indeed my friend.
What a ham. Making sure no one mistakes her for a turkey. ;)
Great scenery...cool shot Mike!!!
Great location, wold love to see closeup
It lives in a very beautiful place. Nice catch.
Beautiful colors and textures Mike!!

Great moment in time at a great location... Natures Beauty.
precious place and wonderful shot. dont get owerworked man its highly dangerous i still suffer as you can see in my "Art"-works lol.
Very nice work on this lovely dedi Mike
Beautiful capture. Like the cropped version better.. Glad to see you posting once again.
Hmmm, I just noticed there seem to be a couple of other birds in this picture as well - a mostly white one in the back right on the post back there, and a black one sitting on a post to the left of the heron. The one on the right looks like it may be a kingfisher. Very cool :)
Lovely image Mike.
Great shot Mike!!!
fantastic shot!
Amazing capture.
Marvelous capture Mike. If this was the spring time I would say the flapping was a deliberate attempt to draw attention to itself so you dont notice the nest full of babies. There really shouldnt be any babies at this time of year so maybe he just wanted to give you a good photo op.
Superb capture Mike and great to see you posting again..
Great photo my friend....!!!
Such a pretty place. Nice shot
A beautiful pic, seems a lovely place to live!!!
i like this one as well
Terrific shot Mike. I like how you caught the bird landing or taking off. Let me add my welcome back to you also. I haven't been on for a while due to my health and trying to get things done around the house. Hope to get on a more regular bais again before to long ( if my health will let me ) !!
wonderful place and shot
very nice
Very beautiful capture Mike..:)
