That is a lovely shot of the Little Blue heron. Maybe he had his feathers fluffed up a bit because of the cool weather?
Lin, your shots are beautiful, too. I love the Downy Woodpeckers, and that's a great Titmouse shot! They're hard to catch standing still, aren't they!
Had to add, what an amazing shot of the sparrow taking off - and it's even in focus! Looks kind of like somebody threw him . . .
