Wonderful sharpness in this action shot. Love how it shows the interaction between the two herons. Could you share where this rookery is located?

Nice shot Scott! Are they mates or are they fighting for the nest?

Great shot!! What lens did you use?? What was the metadata like?? It looks like a study in grey.

ONE OF THE BEST HERON SHOTS I'VE SEEN. HAVE SEEN MANY FROM THE VENICE ROOKERY IN FLORIDA,,,BUT NEVER ONE FROM A NE LOCATION. GREAT CAPTURE!
