For this weeks #mypictureday; I spent a lot of time at a local spot photographing birds.
On Tuesday I stopped by the park on my way home from work. When I parked my car the wind was blowing really hard and a lot of ring billed gulls where soaring above the parking lot. It almost looked as though they were hovering in place because of the wind.
I went down to the river bank to try and get photographs of pelicans landing in the water. I wasn't down there too long before Larry showed up. Thanks to 
The great blue heron was fishing. Every time he would put his head under water I would shoot a burst of photos.
The blue heron was doing so well with the fish that some pelicans started to get closer to see what was up. I don't think Larry cared for them much.
As it was getting closer to sunset a few other photographers showed up. I enjoyed talking with them but I was a little envious of their lenses. They put my little 250mm to shame. Both had the sigma 150-600mm which is just massive lens.
I had so much fun that I went back on Wednesday after work. I was pretty much in the same spot as Tuesday and the blue heron came back. It is almost as if he likes having his portrait taken. :)
I hope you guys enjoyed the photos.
