I was paddling in the Northern Neck over the weekend (no pics sorry) and a Great Blue Heron was on a low branch and swooped right over my head, croaking like they do. I about fell in the water. They are huge up close, and very pterodactyl-like.

I should have a link on my computer at home for a slide show launching "said sidewinder missles" from a kayak at jetskis who come too close. It's hysterical. If I can find it again, I'll post it here.
That's quite a bosom your young duck lady is sporting there! And what exactly is she gripping in her, er.. wings? In the first pic it looks a little like that ninja weapon thingy except it's missing the rope.

Catboo, were you in the Bar Harbor area? We were there in August, and those photos look very familiar!
