Taken in San Pedro at Point Fermin. This little guy kept turning his head, but I was able to get this shot of him looking straight ahead.

Great Blue Herons of Long Beach, CA

Went out this evening with the family to the Queen Mary Cruise liner in Long Beach to walk around and photograph the Great Blue Herons that call that area home. I was able to get pretty close to these guys, they didn't seem to be scared of me at all, as long as I didn't make any sudden moves. Taken within 1.5 hours of sunset.
