A Quick Get-a-way!

I saw this Green Heron along one of the Delta Ponds this morning. They are back again. I have seen them for about a month or so. The heron was quite skittish and didn't seem to be used to human observers. As it suddenly flew off, I was able to grab a couple quick shots. This is one of them. They are quite fast, so it is always a fun challenge to try catching them in flight or almost there. The image isn't perfect, but I am glad I got it.

Excellent timing on this moment before take off shot, Vern. The wings and the lean of the legs and body are perfect. BV

Focus is actually pretty good considering the movement in the image.

Excellent takeoff capture of this green heron! I must be learning something from the many bird pictures on Pbase because I knew what it was before I read your description ;-).
