I was using a 150-600 mm lens and had to step back to get the whole bird in. That one I took before stepping back. That was one feeless heron. There were two ladies standing 5 feet from it who totally ignored it. Hope you have a good weekend.

Thanks. This heron was only a few feet away and not at all afraid of people.
