Little Blue Heron and Great Blue Heron seem to be studiously ignoring each other.
Some more drive-by birding (well, boat-by) from our gulf to ocean boat trip last week.

It's just great spotting different species side by side.

Such lovely captures!
I love that little blue heron (and the shot itself, yes, they seem to be ignoring each other big time :D)
And I like drive by shooting. :)

Your pictures are so good. You are surely in a birder's paradise. Some day we have got to get to Florida.

Lovely shots, Sallie! I love their muted colors and peaceful mood.

Nice seeing the Little Blue and Great Blue together. The shot of the Osprey in the nest below is very cool too.

Magical soft and bright light tones in these beautiful photos! Great heron shots!

I think herons spend a lot of time pretending to ignore things - but I always think they are on guard.
Hate to tell you that the bowerbirds are not really a "feeder bird" for me - the pictures were taken at a Rain Forest Lodge in Southern Queensland - if you do a bit of detective work, you will find the name in one of the pictures!
Thanks for visit.

What a funny shot -- it really does look like they are doing their best to ignore eachother!

That looked like a fun trip, Sallie!

Great shots, Sallie - I wonder what that nest was?

Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Ya'll saw lots of good ones! I like that collage arrangement--very well done!

Boat-by birding, I love it. I think that you are having entirely too much fun (but then, so do we)!
Posted by: Clair Z. | March 29, 2011 at 01:07 PM
Great shots! You were able to see a nice group of birds on your trip. Must have been a lovely birding/photography experience!

I wonder if the London Fog trench coat was inspired by a hunched over, brooding heron! ;-)WBW

It looks like a beautiful day and very interesting to see both Herons side by side.
Posted by: Mick | March 29, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Great comparison. I love the looks on their faces. Thanks for reminding me.

Great images of world birds i have never seen. Thank you!
Posted by: Fotokarusellen | March 29, 2011 at 09:45 AM
You certainly found a plethora of birds on your trip!
Maybe the herons were involved in a clandestine bird operation of sorts - watching both ways. :)
Posted by: Carletta | March 29, 2011 at 09:27 AM
Lovely images. Great birds to see.

Nice to see some warm weather photos! We still haven't hit 60 degrees yet this year, though they say we might by the end of the week.
