Great Blue Heron



There was an unprecedented number of herons on the Skokie Lagoons 
yesterday, and one bold great blue heron perched itself by the canoe 
launch and allowed me to go up to the shore and take a few pictures. 
There was also a black-crowned night-heron, which I have never seen
 before, and another great blue that plucked a giant fish out of the water.


I spotted some other photographers nearby and walked over to ask what 
they saw birdwise--since that's a habit I'm trying to get into--but then they
 told me that they were just there for a class. Talking to fellow photographers
 is a great way to acquire more knowledge about the craft and how 
to go about certain situations.
