Little Green Heron Poolside [Contest Staff Favorites September 2013]
Uploaded: September 03, 2013 03:26:11
I spotted this little heron on the steps of our pool taking a bath. He got out and then went back in a second time. The birds love to drink the pool water too. It is a salt water pool but not nearly as salty as the sea water. I shot this from inside my house.

Such outstanding details and excellent, DOF, Anita. Beautiful work as always! #10831314Michelle Alton September 03, 2013
GREAT shot! You are lucky he hasn't been in your pond, if you have one. Since one visited ours last summer for a couple of weeks, there have been NO fish, NO tadpoles, NO crayfish, No little frogs. Only a couple of big, fat bullfrogs survived that binge! #10831391Linda D. Lester September 03, 2013
