After A Long day Of Fishing…

A tricolored heron takes a break from fishing in the marsh pond at the end of the day.

These are extremely active birds and after a few hard hours of fishing, their battery needs to recharge.

The early evening autumn sunlight makes this cute little guy stand out rather nicely.

He’s really debonair, Phil. You’d never guess that he just had a hard day at the salt marsh. 🙂

  I have several shots of this guy catching fish prior to taking these photos, but figured I’d go with this portrait type view because I liked the warmer light. I’ll save those fishing shots for another day. 🙂

Such gorgeous shots in this light. I know what you mean…It is interesting to see them when they slow down from their very busy, active behavior once in awhile.

  Thank you, I’m happy you liked seeing this fun active Tri. As I mentioned to Sylvia, I have several shots of this guy catching fish prior to taking these photos, but figured I’d go with this portrait type view because I liked the warmer light. Plus it’s nice for a change to see them a bit relaxed.

  Thank you Deb and that’s what I liked most about these shots as well. I have earlier photos of this guy fishing but just thought I would go with a more portrait type scene this time.
