Visiting an old friend

For good or for bad, I haven't shot too many heron/egret pics this summer.  To tell you the truth, I see them so often these days, I often pass the shot by.  Yesterday early a.m. I took a little drive to the Chain of Lakes State Park to see what I could see.  I found this guy feeding in a small pond.  I watched him and shot away for about an hour with him being only about 50 yards away.  He didn't seem to mind.
