That bird hung around for hours—a true friend!
LikeLike
Wonder who will get the first fish :)
LikeLike
I think the man won, but it was a close thing—those birds were not afraid, and quite aggressive!
LikeLike
The funny thing about that bird is that he chased away all the other birds–only HE (she?) could be allowed to accompany the fisherman! :-)
LikeLike
That’s an aspect of friendship too…

Nice note of surprise in the picture. Wasn’t quite expecting to see a heron.

It seems like I can’t get within a mile of a GBH with my camera, and this guy has one for a fishing buddy? No fair, no fair at all!
LikeLike
I sympathize!
You need to go to Florida. The birds were pretty bold and even aggressive, hanging around every fisherman hoping to seize any scraps
LikeLike
Showing me that is just mean :-D
LikeLike
Seriously, Florida (on the Gulf coast) is a paradise for bird photographers. This spring I was there for three days and took hundreds of pictures, mostly of birds. I’ve already posted some (e.g., here and here) but still have to sort through and post the rest.

Good shot!
LikeLike
I was looking for a shot where they were talking to each other, but didn’t get one. I guess fishing is a silent pastime…
LikeLike
That’s still a pretty good one. Didn’t realize they were so tame. I guess, anything in New York has to be pretty impervious to humans!
LikeLike
This was actually in Florida… They were not so much tame as bold, having learned that they could come close with impunity to a fisherman intent on fishing ;-)

So true – to be able to share moments in silence is a gift!

When you are fishing, it’s more like hours in silence, I notice ;-)

Yes, you have to be a dedicated friend to go fishing, if you aren’t a fisherman at heart yourself! (or bring an iPod!) ;-)

Ideally, to let his human friend do his job for him, then grab the product ;-)

Now that you mention it, I was there for almost an hour taking pictures, and I didn’t see them catch a single fish. But that is the essence of fishing, as I understand it… ;-)
I hope they were still friends the day after…
