Great Blue Heron

We went down to Goose Pond south of Linton a few days ago.  There was hardly any birds....this Heron was in a drainage ditch.  We did not see a single Great Blue Heron on/in any of the ponds.

    They are such huge and impressive birds. In your picture, both bird and water are so beautiful.

    Lovely photo of a grand bird. Our Grey Herons seem to do the same thing - some days they are just not where they're supposed to be.

    Lovely Rose! Chuck and I saw one on our walk on Sunday but by the time I got my camera on it flew off.

    As for the bird life around my area, it seems to be the same way...very quiet for the most part. Altho, the populations ARE picking up finally.

    GREAT photo of the heron Rose.

    I Love those big birds, as long as they are not in MY pond! I'll have to go check my bird book to see if they migrate. I don't recall seeing them here in the Winter.

    This is a great picture, Rose. I always wondered why they are called Great Blue Heron because they're not really that blue.....but they are handsome. : )
