    Default Great Blue Herons

    It is unusual to see 2 Herons this close together so I am assuming that they are a pair or at least courting. Just thought that they were pretty enough to share, Enjoy, Cin

    good shots, Cin. I like the first picture - seems like there is interaction between the two birds.

    Great photo. Blue herons are on of my favorite birds. They look so relaxed together - must be 'buds.

    The one on the right is preening, so it is certainly relaxed. Beautiful shots of two magnificent birds! Bird watcher/bird lover...Betty :-)

    Handsome birds! I'm surprised they aren't working the edge of the lake.
