One large rookery topped out at 37 fledglings. Last week they were exploring first flights. Hope they are as clever as t his one. <br />Your post makes me wonder about species evolution....Deejbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143307437996045353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-9253128250903144862009-06-25T10:41:52.966-04:002009-06-25T10:41:52.966-04:00Hi Larry - thanks for the comments!

Unfortunately, as you noted, the one that fit on the page is woefully small. I'll have to see if the Picasa folk come up with something better, or perhaps I should spend more time in Flickr or other options.<br /><br />As you know, every once in a while you get lucky with the camera pointing at the right place at the right time. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by!<br />-Mikenoflicksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404386000823552954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-58808510339519479072009-06-25T09:22:39.395-04:002009-06-25T09:22:39.395-04:00Nice slide show Mike but I liked looking at the in...Nice slide show Mike but I liked looking at the individual photos from your Picasa site better. Larger photos, more detail.<br /><br />Incredible captures! I have never witnessed this behavior either. I love the series, especially the last three shots. So you did get your in flight shot and you won the stare down! Sounds like a great day to me ;-)Larry Jordanhttp://thebirdersreport.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-16035002734703878692009-06-22T23:00:06.739-04:002009-06-22T23:00:06.739-04:00Hi dAwN and jan_m - thanks!

But I like the effect!<br /><br />I watch one of the herons perched on a similar log today - no jumps. I was wondering if it's just this particular heron's strategy. I lost today's staring contest.<br />-Mikenoflicksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404386000823552954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-20167742061081862772009-06-22T06:19:55.830-04:002009-06-22T06:19:55.830-04:00Nice slide show Mike.

I love watching great blues, but have never seen one leap into the water or go under either.jan mhttp://emurphey.com/jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451484812160865521.post-8569974850589582242009-06-21T07:58:58.903-04:002009-06-21T07:58:58.903-04:00That was pretty cool..I have not seen one jump in ...That was pretty cool..I have not seen one jump in like that either..<br />nice photo video show!Dawn Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320576787003821586noreply@blogger.com
