Wise, Old Heron

We saw this Great Blue Heron fishing .. or resting. Either way, he did not stick around long once we showed up. I believe this is an older male. Wise and very cool.

The photo did not come out great, but It was great to see him.

Great Blue Resort

As I wrote a couple of days ago, we saw a number of Great Blue Heron’s while hiking at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park. As we hiked out to the end of windy point, they would take off, fly a short distance, land and then watch us. This would repeat several times. Must be a good fishing spot.

Make Up Your Mind

This is a slide show .. give it a few seconds ..

While hiking near the Miami River, I looked over to my left just in time to see this Great Blue Heron flying up into the trees. I started snapping photos and managed this series of photos.

After he parked in the trees, it was a couple minutes before he took off and I captured the last photo. I guess he could not make up his mind .. stay or go.

Wings ...

I just about didn’t get this photo. Teresa and I were on a photo walk when this Great Blue Heron flew over us. I missed it as she flew to the west. I was upset at myself for missing the shot. I have been trying to capture this photo the entire spring. She has been so elusive. We continued our walk ... 

A few minutes later, she flew over again, this time flying back towards the east. I guess she changed her mind. This was the best of four shots. Such large wings. Beautiful.
