Great photo! Not easy getting close to these suckers, they're pretty keen on knowing when you're looking at them.
sometimes the ones near me that nest by trails are pretty tolerant. though, i was also at 500mm.
It's possible if you're on a beach where fishermen give them treats! I think I've gotten as close as 6 ft.
In PA it's hard to get within 50m of them before they boogie.
I enjoy seeing these herons.
My white whale bird to photograph. I stumbled upon one when I just got a new camera, and I had all the settings wrong.
This photo is brilliant!

Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
