Captured this heron at City Park this morning. They were pretty active!

And this cormorant. Seem to be having some luck with these birds..

Luck has nothing to do with these shots. Just pure talent, my friend!

I love the second shot. The first one kind of looks like what i would expect to see if the bird hit my windshield at 70 mph--i guess the frozen motion throws me a bit

Yeah, forget luck, which I know plays an important role in wildlife photography. I'm w/Morris, this is all talent, perseverance, knowledge of behavior, experience. Great shots. The piercing eyes on these birds really fascinate me.

Great shots Dan...I like the wings in the first one...looks like a landing shot. Plus, another nice Cormorant portrait. I was over there on Friday, just haven't had time to process yet.
