I am now offering a very small selection of prints for sale at www.matthewherron.net/client-galle....
These are signed, archivally mounted and matted, and ready to frame in standard sizes (11"x14" for 7"x10" prints, 16"x24" for 12"x18" prints). If any sell, I'll add more.

Great blue heron, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia. There's no extreme editing here, just a lucky circumstance. The bird was in the light while the background was in shadow, and I underexposed a full stop to preserved the detail in the white feathers.

Ugh, thanks for the heads-up! Fixed now.

Gulls, flycatchers, and peeps, for me. Luckily, eBird now has REALLY good image identification, so I get fewer correction emails.

The photos that I'm posting now are from August...it's actually just a coincidence that I'm in Back Bay again while they're posting. This is from this morning...it will be weeks or months before I start posting pictures from this trip.

Or time machines

Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware was ridiculous. Now I'm in Cape Charles on the eastern shore of Virginia, where there are just as many white ibis, but also lots of seaside sparrows
