Green Heron Chicks...

[Joseph Przybyla]

I was fortunate to find these little ones at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. I have never seen Green Heron chicks before, so a treat to see and photograph. I think the nest is nearby, will have to look more closely tomorrow. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Cool you got to see some chicks for the first time. The plants behind the two lower birds look sharp, the birds look a little soft.

Hi John, thank you for viewing and commenting. With three birds I was moving the point of focus around to see what worked best. In this image the active focus point was on the chest/neck area of the bird on the right. The plants behind the two left birds were probably on the same focal plane as the bird on the right.
