Same guy? This was along the marina green a few weeks ago.

Hard to say. Are you in Berkeley? If you are, then it is a definite possibility!

Marina green is SF. A bunch of these there

Of course it is! I don't know what I was thinking. I used to live on Scott Street, right up the hill from Marina Green. Thanks!

I have a great heron shot from there

Beautiful heron and Fabulous Shot! I hardly ever get anything other than water and trees in most of my photographs of birds.

Ohh THAT marina. No that was SF. Just thought I’d share.

Sometimes I see them flying towards Berkeley, but, of course, as someone else pointed out, Marina Green is SF. There are quite a few in this area and I know also in Marin and San Francisco. The picture you posted is really beautiful!

I wish I could be down there today. Gonna be 110 today in the valley.

Not to rub it in, but today on the bay it is a balmy 71 degrees.

They are amazing to see up close!

They really are!

I didn't realize how big they were. I was walking the Santa Rosa trail by the creek in the morning, and one was standing in the middle of the creek. It stopped me cold, and for a minute, I couldn't figure out what it was—like something prehistoric, then it took off. The wing span! Wow. ♥️

I have no idea how I picked up some random link. Sorry about that.

I did click, but it just said the page couldn't be found. 😊

I was really shocked the first time I saw one. I was walking along a boardwalk next to the building I live in and came around the corner. On the shoreline, there was this huge Great Blue Heron. Fortunately, I had my camera with me and got my first photographs of this huge, beautiful heron.
