Every Spring a Great Blue Heron, somehow gets to my pond, thru overhanging tree branches and 2012 is no different, almost like clockwork in early March this guy or a buddy shows up to feed on the frogs and other little creatures in the pond. I took several photos, all thru a double paned glass window, so not as crisp as could be.
First photo shot thru the window with no zoom, approx 140 feet or so to the bird.

Second photo of the Heron getting ready to strike at a target in the pond, used approx 12x Optical Zoom

Third photo was using max Optical with addition Digital zoom to get as close as possible.
