There are some days that you wonder if you should have just stayed in bed, and today sure felt like one. The fog was as bad as I have seen it in a long time. It was hanging very low and thick and when I left at 9am it hadn’t changed much!
It looked like even the birds weren’t big fans of the fog. The Green Herons just sat there looking very uncomfortable and dripping wet. So you know shooting conditions were less than ideal. But you never know with fog, it can lift in a very short time and that’s what I was hoping for.
Just after “sunrise”, if that’s what you could call it…
Shaking the water off….
But what made the day worthwhile was what a Green heron did to a small flock of Wood Ducks. The ducks were all sitting on “the log” preening and relaxing when a Green Heron landed on the other end of the log. I don’t know what got into this heron but he definitely didn’t like the fact that the ducks were on his log! He immediately ran to the other side of the log where the ducks were and began to harass them! He got in their face so bad they all took off! Usually it’s the wood ducks who are the mean kids on the block but this little guy gave the woodies all they could handle!!
Move it out woodie!!!!
And don’t come back!!!!
I could have post processed these image to look much brighter and more vivid, but that would defeated the purpose of these images. Which is to show you that I should have slept in today!!! (not really, I still had fun!) Maybe the camera will dry out by Sunday and I can get back out….. Thanks for looking!
