Great White Heron (Ardea herodias) White Morph
Slightly larger and just as aggressive as his first cousin the Great Blue Heron, his is a magnificent animal to behold, specially when seen up close as is the case at the rehab center in the Florida Keys, sometimes he is just a few feet away from your lens, and not necessarily in a nice perch or in a great pose due to the crowded and narrow walkway at this place, He has also a broader bill if compared to the GBH, light colored pinkish legs is a good tell tale sign that this Heron is a Great White, This image was taken on the small tidal pool in which the Black necked stilts do their nesting, and this is a bird they have to watch out for, since little BNS babies make excellent snacks for the GWH. D1x, Raw, Lens=80-400mm af-VR-f/4.5-5.6, FL=310mm, Aperture priority, centered weighted metering, 1/8000sec SS-f/5.6, EV=-0.3, ISO=200, WB=Sunny, High speed flash!! Any comments and or reposts are welcome!! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
