A Green Heron flushed from the water’s edge when I walked passed, then surprisingly landed out in the open.

The trees on the opposite bank had some dead leaves that provided an artsy mottled background.

Yes, Ellen, so classic! Great shots of this delightful Green Heron.
Thank you, Carol! It is always a joy when they give us a little time and a good pose in the open.
Fabulous capture of the Green Heron. I have never seen one, what a beautiful bird.
Thank you, Dina. Green Herons are gorgeous and they have those feathers that have an iridescence in certain light.
Beautifully captured, Ellen!
