This is from last night, I was out shooting some shots yesterday on National Camera Day. I posted this in one of the National Camera Day too. https://www.focalworld.com/index.php?threads/national-camera-day-2019-post-a-photo-from-today.9199/

Looks like a great blue heron, nice catch.

The rainbow reflection is delightful but the heron silhouette pushed it to another level. Nice shot.

Gorgeous. Did you shoot this with your 150-600mm?
Thanks so much Ben. It was cool because I only saw the one, and I had accidentally scared it off earlier, so I am glad it came back and landed in this spot.
Great blues are the first bird to sound the alarm. But if they get habituated in a park or someplace, you can get pretty close to them.
Thanks Jim! This was with the Sony A6400 and the 18-135mm. The Sony is making for a great run around camera I can just keep in the Jeep when I am in town.

Colorful, interesting and a beautifully silhouetted great blue heron. You hit the trifecta
Thanks so much Eric, I know it was kind of exiting to see it stand still long enough for me to move slightly to get the reflection behind it.

Great job with the colors and the silhouette, Jim. Ain't birds fun?
