Green Heron. Sugar Land, TX

That's a brood patch on the chest.

Just something different.

Angela, I really enjoy this image. I have seen Green Herons do a fluff shake but never a spin dry. Thanks for posting this image. The blur really displays the behavior.

Nice action Angela. From time to time I like to see this kind of shot. Shows how fast and violent these birds shake.

Angela, I love the craziness of this shaking Heron and the water drops as well. What a cool capture!

Very cool Angela, great sense of motion. I don't know if you could have gotten lower to get the boardwalk out of the way in the bg. :toast:

Terrific capture Angela. Could use a little more room all around but a very unique looking image and that brood patch on the chest tops this off for me. Cool.

I like it Angela. The motionless legs and the rest a blur. The rail in the bG is a bit of a distraction, but a cool image anyway. Nice!
