I'll write a bit about all the submissions and link to all the submitted posts. It's restricted to posts about wild birds, but one doesn't have to be a birder to contribute.

We enjoy seeing these wonderful birds flying overhead often and even landing on our houses. It drives me nuts though when people call them cranes! I've tried to work the birds here, but it seem impossible. I need to go a bit further off to work with blues. Your image is well done and tells a great story.

Glad to provide some new info for your day! :-) @Bernie - no doubt, bird photography usually requires some investment in some long glass! @Tom, Bo - thanks a lot. @Paul – yes, typically near water in swamps, marshes, etc. This particular one is surrounded by a sizeable lake.

I'm not sure I could even photograph it - I would be in such awe of simply seeing such a site (sight). This photo takes my breathe away.

Wow! It's 6:00 AM and I've already learned something new for the day! Now, I can go back to bed, sleep all day, and be educated as well!!! :-) This image makes me want to grab the big lens and do some heron spotting. I see lots of herons around here, but I've never seen a nest. Maybe I should start looking up! Do they nest near water? I would imagine so. Mark, thanks for the great information! Wow!

There's a heron nesting spot I drive by from time to time - I ought to head out to see what's happening. Hope there's lots of hepatica out your way... Fine image, great behavior presentation.
