When you live in Ohio you get used to the idea that the birds are very skittish. Herons and Egrets are no exception. However, when you get up to Lake Erie, things can get a little more relaxed. I keep thinking that someday I will go up there just to shoot (take pictures of) these beautiful birds. I went to Magee for Spring migration and mostly wanted to see and shoot warblers.
Driving back to the board walk, you will see lots of Great Blue's and Great Egrets! As I was driving along at the speed of a turtle, I spotted this guy fishing the canal.
The Catch:
Canals run along the back side of the boardwalk. Most times I get some close encounters with Great Blues. This year was a very memorial one.
A zoom is very helpful when these guys are so close. Here is what they look like at 400mm.
Fishing, he caught a unsuspecting Frog.
