Got some Great Blue Heron pics. It was a cloudy and windy morning so I thought there might be something going on at the dock and this GBH did not disappoint me.


#1 From a fish's view point. Maybe this is how GBH looks like. View Large (external link)

I love the ruffled look. Down my way, the herons are usually sleek and you have to wait a long time and get luck to see the ruffles. Great shots!

Great series. #3 is neat because of the neck position.
