I was out fishing at the lake today on my boat and the Great Blue Heron was fishing the shore. I caught two dozen Crappie and one Perch but the bigger fish are not in and biting as of now. The water temperature was 50 F.
The Great Blue Heron have a beautiful color. I also saw an Egret that had a black body with an orange tail that went flying by, no picture this time. It was in the shadows but check out the reflection.
I had to get a little too close because of the Sun and he left for a quieter place. Sorry for the blur but this camera I take fishing has no image stabilization.
I saw this Red Wing Black Bird in a pasture where I captured the new colts.
I found this Robin in my back yard.
A Woodpecker was thumping into a hollow tree behind my yard, I think it is called a Flicker.
The Canadian Geese have been putting on a show.

Hey you have treasures out there and it is amazing :)
When you are fishing what do you do with your fishing pole when you want to pick up the camera to capture a blue heron? Just curious.
Beautiful pictures, Fishing Guy. You see such a great variety of things.
Wonderful photos fishing guy. I think it is great that you take the time to notice all the wonder around you.. thanks for sharing..
Shionge: Thanks, I think of some of these captures as treasures often.
J&J: The fish can wait while I try to capture this beauty. I was actually going to where it was to get the shot so the poles were down.
Sandpiper: You are my inspiration from the number of beautiful captures you do on your walks.
Stacey: I happy to share the wonders because of all you share from your camera.
Nice bird images Fishing Guy, but the best is the Blue Heron - that's a great image.
Beautiful images.
I lovely the little robin
very cool photos brother, and the music is inspiring as well. keep your chin to the wind.. Hawk..
Lovely series.
You are sure seeing lots of wildlife and the pictures are great! (I did see your grandson's foot too!)
Thanks for pointing out my typo. I hate when I do that. Actually I had two. At least it shows that you are reading my post! lol
A wondeful collection of birds. I am always out and about photographers shore birds, and would love to snap the blue heron. He's beautiful
What a great amount of bird life you've captured.. I don't recall seeing a Flicker Woodpecker before. The reflection of the Heron was a great capture.
Just a quick jump by to say beautiful photos... your bird photos are getting sharper and sharper everytime!! I am totally impressed!
Fishing sounds not too bad... we are off to do a little fishing today... hubby's 50th birthday today and he chose of course to do fishing! LOL... and it's raining.. have a nice weekend =)
This is a great post, and I really enjoyed it! We have a blue heron which comes to our pond often... but I can NOT get a good photo of it, because it is SO skittish, it takes off as soon as I get anywhere within photo distance.
By the way - you've got great taste in Country music, my friend.
sequence very beautiful, very beautiful birds with photos
Hi fishing Guy, You got some remarkable pictures here. I especially like the first with the reflection, ti is just beautiful.
