Great Blue Heron Calling.
This GBH was on her palm calling here mate, sadly no one came to her calling. Taken at Viera Wetlands.
Comments & Sugestions are encouraged.

I was not aware that Great Blue Heron's postured and called to their mates like this. We have a GBH rookery at the Prairie Garden Trust and I've never seen them do that.
I love the flaring of the throat feathers!

This photo is quite lovely. I like the pose and the composition you chose very much.
If you could provide your settings when you post photos, Mike, it would be most helpful to those offering critiques.
Well done on this one!!

Mike I was all prepared and redy to upload my photo when I saw your thumbnail. It fooled me for a minute because I hadn't uploaded yet and the reason I was puzzled was because my image was very similar except my heron is on grapeleaves and facing the other way LOL. So I decided to post a different image for now. I was so excited to see the rituals have begun already! This is nicely captured with great light and detail.

Welcome Mike. Sharp and nicely framed. The bird is sky-pointing. I am about 99.99% sure that there is no vocalization involved.

A great pose captured here Mike with excellent feather detail, and nicely composed within the vertical format.

This a a graphically very strong image, I love the flared feathers matching the palm's leaves and the comp is perfect. Well done. I only wish the sky was "bluer" (less yellow, if that makes sense), and there is a dust bunny to shoo away between the head and right edge.

Nice image Mike. I was there the next day and they were still at it...definitely with some vocals. I noticed the "bunny" too. Your stuff has been rockin' lately.
