Tales Through Photos

Photos and the stories they tell

Resting?

Rick Cartwright March 17, 2021

I see this frequently: A Great Blue Heron standing on one leg. I don’t get it. Is this a way to rest the other leg? Perhaps they find this relaxing? I certainly would not stand on one leg while overlooking a fishing pond and waiting for breakfast. 😬

Wait For Me

Rick Cartwright September 15, 2020

While hiking along the Stillwater River at the Stillwater Prairie Reserve I caught a glimpse ot a Great Blue Heron flying south over the river. I wanted to capture a photo but the trees and foliage were prohibitive.

We hike for a couple of miles, then came to a spot where we could get to the water. This location was actually not far from where I had seen the Heron and hour earlier. To my surprise, when I looked to the south, I could see this beautiful Great Blue Heron in the river. How beautiful. I guess I just needed to ask her to wait for me.
