Paul,
I think #2 is an immature Green Heron. They're fairl

Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken
I have to admit the bird is a Green Heron

Both very nice captures but the first gets my vote for the OOF background
and the dynamic capture.

A good guess, Ann, but the Bittern has brown wings and no crown of feathers
-- as far as I can tell. And I did follow the bird that I shot in flight.
I'm sure he landed in the water. I was convinced at first that this was a
different bird,
That makes two of us, Ann.

Could be you're right, Ann. Although the brown markings on the neck of your
juvenile heron are similar to those on the neck of my guy. It could be that the
heron I shot in flight disappeared into the brush somewhere and this guy was a
co-conspirator. BTW, this little stretch of wetland river is
well between googling and my National Geo print book, I still come up
with bittern for you guy...
Note the shortness and color of legs
.. Great blue's don't have yellow legs... and bittern's toupee could
just be wind-blown

Both are great captures. I really like the one of the heron in
flight, especially the shape of its wings.
Well done.
