Fishing

It has been a while since we photographed a Great Blue Heron. We have seen a few but missed the photo. I was hiking alone on this day. I saw one in a pond and the other in the Great Miami River ... about ½ mile apart.

I saw this interswting link and thought I would share it: 10 Great Blue Heron Facts That Will Astonish You!. Enjoy

Good To See You

The last time were were at Grand Lake St Marys, we did not see any Great Blue Herons. Well, maybe we saw one flying, but normally we see several along the shores of the lake.

On our last visit we saw seveal. Enjoy the photos of these beautiful creatures.

I’m Back

It has been a while since I saw a Great Blue Heron around here. Teresa and I were hiking along the Miami River yesterday when I spotted this one flying over the river. He landed just down-river from where we were standing. These birds generally migrate, but a few of them will stick around for winter. Since I have not seen one for a couple months, I assume this one may have flew south, but not far, and had come back early. I could be wrong. It was exciting to see him (or her).

Blue Heron of many faces

I have taken many photos of Great Blue Heron. They have many different looks. My favorite is the look in the first photo. You see this when they are perched in a tree, but I guess I caught him having a moment:).

Normally, I don’t get too many photos before they take off. This one was very patient and just watched us. Teresa was still taking photos as we were heading to the car, and he didn’t move. The 2nd photo is one that she took as we were to the car, from a very different angle, and in different lighting.

Rubber-necking

I saw this Green Heron again. This time she was perched in this tree. The reason I wanted to share this photo was actually so I could share this second photo, and share this little body trick .. check out photo 2:  

I guess she couldn’t see without some rubber-necking:).
