Great Blue Heron fight at Venice Rookery

I Just finished my first workshop ever with Arthur Morris and crew. Had a blast, got to put some faces to internet names, andenjoyed interacting with all the photogs. This is an image made on the second morning. What is really cool is the bill of the heron in back wrapped around the neck of the other!

Hi Milo!!!!!!

Red carpet welcome, my friend! It was great having you on board and can't wait for you to share those wonderful images we saw in your slide show :)

You got it here, great interaction and good job of getting them both in-frame. Yes, one had the other by the neck, is that cool or what?

Love that foot up!

Welcome to the forum Milo. Terrific action capture. Love the angular shapes the two intertwined birds make. Strong visually. Nice detail. Well done.

Welcome, Milo. Great interaction shot. It looks pretty painful for the one on the right side.

Welcome here at BPN, Milo! Love the interaction, but the whites look a wee bit hot.

Hello,

This is an excellent action shot. The food in the air is funny.
