Little Blue Heron

Caught this Small Blue Heron at Brookgreen and wondered if he was the same one that might have flown over from the state park. He calmly sat there for quite awhile even though there were a lot of people around the reflection pool.
 
Off he goes!

The problem that I had in getting these shots was the background. In editing was able to crop out the offensive male genitalia. We did get a laugh out of the photos though........this guy was letting it all hang out.....lol!

Wood Stork

 

            A flock of Wood Storks is called a Muster.....only two in this photo....from left to  right :

                                        Stork, 2nd Stork, Great Blue Heron and a Great Egret

                                                   Better view with wings stretched.

Snowy

I think that the Snowy Egret can be so comical the way they stand, like this one on one leg with beak tucked  in.

Great Blue

 

This Great Blue Heron snagged a prize snake or an eel for breakfast

Another heron tried to steal the breakfast away but was unsuccessful. All this happening this morning off the causeway at Huntington State Park, Murrells Inlet, SC
