Some new shots from this past weekend: http://picasaweb.google.com/LanceWarley
Some of the herons were sunning their wings, which is common for anhingas, but we've never seen it before in herons. Have any of you? Even though they look fully grown, they may be fledglings because a bunch of babies were born at these locations a couple of months ago.
Heron do sun their wings. I see it quite often. Not being a birder I don't know if it's for the same reason as the Anhingas or Commorants or not. Shot an image of one this past weekend. In this case the wings aren't fully spread, but I see them both ways.
Perhaps this is just an old pervert heron who was flashing me!
Oh man Bill that is the best . I think I saw his picture on AMW. You are just encouraging deviant behavior as I plan showing this to my co workers tonight so we can all giggle.
Lance,
Thanks for the link to your photos. Nice variety . I love the Heron in the warm orange light and also the different breeds I have not seen before.

Maybe this is normal for fledglings.
