The Quest for the Blue Heron and/or Crane Shot

As some of you have been keeping up with me on my flickr page may have noticed as of recently, I have become obsessed with getting a shot of a crane that has taken up residence on the creek that runs behind my house... luckily for me, my neighbor caught this slightly embarassing obsession on camera...


I was sitting on the pictured ladder for about 45 minutes trying to get a shot of one of the Blue Herons that were hanging out on the creek flying towards me... got a couple shots of some Canadian Geese, but that was about as good as it got this evening... I shall get a shot of one of those cranes (not pictured) before the end of the year... that is my promise to you!!!
