I'm still trying to get decent bird shots here; I guess the Shippensburg birds don't know me well enough yet to feel comfortable sitting still for a portrait. Today the Kingfisher again successfully avoided me, and some winter Sparrows (two Chipping Sparrows and I think a Savannah Sparrow) who wouldn't sit still were as elusive as a bunch of Dark-eyed Juncos (Slate-colored) who also had bad cases of ants-in-the-pants. But I did finally get a shot of one of the Great Blue Herons. He was way back in one of the cattail marshes along the Dykeman Walking Trail, but he was close enough that with a little manual focus fiddling I managed to get a decent shot.
So here you are - my first bird shot in Pennsylvania!
