[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This time of year in the southern part of British Columbia when the days are getting warmer, the animals and birds have reproduction on their mind. The heron is no different and here on this photo, the males are here first and they rearranged the old nests in the hope of anticing a female as partner. Some of these nests have been homes for new broods for generations.

There are about fifty nests in this location which is about 5 km from my home. The location has been made into a park where visitors are able to view this activity from a short distance.

Salut frérot!

C'est une image intéressante car son but n'est pas de montrer les détails fins des oiseaux mais plutôt le rassemblement de ceux-ci. Mais j'avoue qu'elle est un peu petite. J'aurais aimé la voir un peu plus grande pour mieux distinguer les détails. La couleur du fond créé un effet monochrome bleu qui s'agence très bien avec le titre de ta photo. Tu devrais exploiter ce site dans les semaines qui viennent car je suis certain qu'il y aura de belles opportunités d'image.

How in the world you took this!where you underneath the tree?Good shot....
