Perched Old Man

This Great Blue Heron was in a tree overlooking one of the ponds at Garbry Big Woods. We watched him land in this tree, then move to another tree .. and then fly away. Teresa saw him eating someing right after landing so I guess it was dine in.

Taking Flight

We were at Big Woods driving between bird feeders when I saw this Great Blue Heron in a tree over one of the ponds. I guess she could not see the no-fishing sign.😂! I took a couple of quick photos then before I could finish she took off. I like this photo.
