Takeoff

The colors are a bit washed out but she was about to take off so I wanted to snap a quick photo. I always love it when we see a Great Blue Heron. I have said that before but this never gets old.

Dude Looks Intense

The weather is getting great and we should see a lot more migrating birds any day. The Great Blue Heron is not a migrator here where we live, but we have not seen many for the last couple weeks. This guy showed up on day this week. ❤️
