Great Blue Heron - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved

This is another photograph where I almost didn't get the shot, because I didn't know the bird was there. I had pulled over because I had seen an unusual looking duck. As I was walking back toward where I had seen it, I suddenly noticed this statuesque figure, and froze in my tracks so I wouldn't spook him. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get many pictures before he took off, because he had seen me. I haven't seen any Herons or Egrets all winter, and thought they had migrated South, so I was thrilled to see this one.
