Sight and Sound The birds seem to just be flocking to me this week lol It was a dreary day here on the 1st of September, and a reminder that summer is on its way out. A nice surprise down at the pond recently though. This Great Blue Heron spent a long time preening atop the log we call "The Croc" that goes up and down depending on the pond level and looks like a crocodile in its reflection. (Try it on black) My husband told me I'd never be able to get a pic so of course that set the challenge for me lol. I shot this from inside our house about 500 feet or 152 meters away with my trusty FZ1000 on my tripod. It's not the best pic, but these birds, when wild and unaccustomed to people, are so sensitive to movement that they will fly off very easily. (I also uploaded a video.)
