Mahone Bay - Oakland

Hi all,,

Many thanks to those who have been reporting the Little Blue Heron at =
Oakland in Mahone Bay......it was still there this morning and it is a =
life bird for me!   I was very surprised at how "tame" the bird is.  He =
does not seem to be bothered by people at all.  In fact, this morning as =
I was taking pictures, a local fisherman literally walked up to within =
35 ft. of the bird to set minnow traps in the small ponds and the bird =
did not even look at him!  He just kept feeding like nothing was going =
on!

Anyway, aside from the very contrasty lighting, I managed to get a =
number good pictures of him and I have added several of them to my =
Smugmug gallery at =
http://scranlocker.smugmug.com/photos/swfpopup.mg?AlbumID=3D11169670&Albu=
mKey=3DYDfwM.

Also, on the trip from Dartmouth to Mahone Bay I noted an Osprey - my =
first of the season - which flew over highway 111 directly across from =
Mic Mac Mall.
