Great Blue Heron Mating Pair

This was taken one afternoon as I was leaving the Circle B Bar Ranch Preserve in Lakeland, FL. I saw these two GBH's in the nest moving around. I had the D700 and my 600mm f/4 beast on a monopod so I just focused on them and waited for them to do something. Fleetingly it appeared that their beaks touched as if to kiss and I managed to get two frames before the moved. They appeared to be somewhat silhouetted so I underexposed by 1.5 EV.
