A Stretch in The Marsh. (Ardea herodias)

I saw him fly, and I knew where he was going, and I got the timing right... I post a lot on Facebook, and Great Blue Herons outdraw just about anything else.

Nice display image you have here!


By the way

Our new Bird Forum/Opus system searches the Gallery by the information contained in the tags placed with an image.

Even if the information is in the title, it needs to be tagged. The most important tags are Common Name, Scientific Name, and Location, at a minimum.

It is the presence of these tags that will allow searchers to find and enjoy your most beautiful images. I'm sure you would be disappointed should someone happen to miss seeing one, or more, of them simply because no tags were present.

Your assistance in making this happen by placing tags on your uploaded images will be appreciated very much.

It is appreciated!

Am I correct in thinking all the tags are in place? The software seems to do this automatically.

The basic ones are in place. However, it wasn't the software that put them there. I added them. Give it a try with your next upload. If you have questions about it, ask!
