      Thanks so much for the compliment!

      Thanks and yes it was a fun capture for me! Patience and cooperation between bird and the man was everything, note they were not instructed in any way.

    Awesome photo, Jerry! How cool to get so close to a Heron.

      … suggestion for photo name, ‘Looking North, with Heron’

    • Jerry Simmons December 19, 2020 (1:08 pm)

      Thanks so much! Please note that the heron is behind the man and on a railing about 12′ away. I was even farther away and captured this at 600mm. Just some good old trickery going on here!

    This year and the Christmas season made me think of this Jewish proverbs.Proverbs 17:17:A friend loves at all times,    and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
