    Great Blue Heron at the base of Lake Algonquin Spillway

    Got this and the following shots with my digital by the dam in front of my house today.

    Got some shots with the SLR using the 300 meter zoom also. Can't wait to see how they come out.

                  Awesome photos Redhawk. I see these guys very often along trout streams and you will too when you begin your flyfishing odyssey. One time in particular I was tiptoeing (can't really tiptoe in waders and wading boots) around a bend of an island in the middle of a trout stream and almost bumped into one face to face. He took an awkward step or two and gracefully lifted off.
                  Other times you will be fishing and see a large shadow appear on the surface of the stream and lo and behold a pteradctyl will be gliding over your head.
                  Pretty cool stuff. You will also get a lot of wildlife pics along a trout stream. Beavers, muskrats, otters, mink, deer, maybe a moose like Nessmuk, all kinds of birds. Just be careful with your camera, unfortunately WB and I have had our share of camera water adventures.
                  You won't regret taking up this honorable sport for it is much more than fishing. Heck you don't even have to fish half the time. WB and I put more hours and miles in hiking up and down our streams and observing nature than we actually spend wetting a line.
                  Have fun,
