Great Blue Heron

 

We went to Green Valley the other day....I wanted to go see the turtles...people were already back where I have to go to see them.  So I did not get to see if they were there.   But I did see this Great Blue Heron, plus a few others over across the the lake.  (If you click the above link, there is also a photo or the lake/old strip pit)

    A great photo! And I like how his beak is open, too.

    Good shot. When the Herons see me lift my camera they fly away.

    As you can tell by how often I post pictures of them-- I am very fond of them. But they are very silly looking.(except in flight).

    I love herons. even though I've never seen one in real life. That neck is priceless.

    Oh dear Rose! It's like a painting! You captured it on a very great stance! I have never seen herons in real life but these blue ones I see also on Eileen and Kenneth's blogs, they all look like paintings! beautiful creatures!

    It is really stretching its neck out to look taller for you. Very nice shot.

    I am sorry that you missed the turtles. I always love seeing them sunning themselves on branches or rocks but this is magnificent! A beautiful portrait of this gorgeous heron!

    It is unusual to see a heron wandering in the grass. He seems to have a round stone or something held in his beak; I have not seen these birds pick up anything but food (but then, I mostly see them fishing for lunch in the shallow water).

    That's a nice picture of the Great Blue Heron. I always wondered why he was named that, as I never see much blue on him in photos from the past. But he is a grand bird for sure. : )
