Got interrupted while birding today - how rude!!

[Joey]

Had to get the emission test done on my truck so did a Google map search of the area the auto shop was in and found an abandoned area with a small pond. So instead of just sitting there waiting for the truck, I took my camera and set off for the pond. Had to hop a barrier and go through some tall grass but right off the bat there was a nice heron at the pond.

Fired off a few shot, the heron took off and I walked a bit further and something in the bush beside me rustled and then I could see tall grass and reeds folding over. I thought maybe a groundhog or beaver - Nope!

They're pretty crappy pics as I was surprised, and shaking a bit. Got my buck knife out of my bag and put it in my back pocket and decided maybe it would be a good idea to leave!

I did get some good heron shots before all that though
