Heron Fun

Getting a photo of this Great Blue Heron was an absolute comedy of errors. I first spotted this majestic bird in the creek, where she promptly flew away before I could even set up a shot—clearly, she wasn't ready for her close-up. Then, he (or she, the bird kept me guessing) reappeared on the banks of the fishing pond. I managed a couple of blurry shots that looked more like abstract art than wildlife photography. Finally, she flew into this tree, but there was too much noise to get a clear photo. Some days you get the perfect shot, and some days you just get a good laugh. It happens.

Grooming Heron

This is a photo from the past. Call it a Great Blue Heron Grooming. What a cool bird. I was lucky enough to capture this moment while out on a walk, and it really reminded me of how beautiful nature can be.
