Little Blue Heron

I've seen this little blue heron on the neighbor's dock many times. It is very shy so the only way I can get a good photo is with my telephoto lens. Even then, it usually flies away while croaking. The little blue heron is not a songbird. Today I had the lens zoomed in all the way, to about 300mm, and I used the cloudy setting on my camera, as it was a very gray day. Once I had the photo on my computer, I tweaked the color and contrast a little and cropped it to 50% of its original size.
