Herons headed right for me

[Steve Foss]

Man, considering how big these birds look in flight from the side, they sure don't present much of a target head on. Thick from the side, knife thin from the front. How disappointing to me that there's not more to see.

I don't recall seeing a heron straight on like that.

Here it is dressed up.

I like it. Just not your everyday side view shot, thats what is cool about it.

Very cool and very sharp. Makes me feel like a landing strip
