Two Birds in a Bush!

I can't believe how fortunate I was! I saw a Green Heron fly past me out of the corner of my eye as I was watching a Great Blue Heron across the water. I had problems locating it as it landed not far from the GBH. But I got a couple pictures of it by shooting where I thought it was. Then I lost track of it. So I went back to the GBH to get some nice photos of it. Little did I know that the Green Heron had worked its way to a spot below the GBH. So here you have a photo of both. I haven't seen the two kinds so close together before. I am excited to get this result.

A wonderful "two-fee" capture! I'm amazed at the significant difference in bird size! :)
Ed R 12-Aug-2014 13:31
I read about green herons, but never see any. Good catch!
Ruth Voorhis12-Aug-2014 13:18
What a marvelous catch, Vern!
Steve Thuman12-Aug-2014 11:35
That's great! Looks like the GB doesn't know the greenie is there.
Jack Hoying12-Aug-2014 10:53
That is really fantastic! I only see one or two green herons a year, as they are pretty reclusive.
