Day Is Done…
Last night while I was watching and photographing the changing sky and clouds, I heard the familiar squawk of a great blue heron behind me. When I turned around there he was flying in just barely above the reeds toward me, finally landing on the oyster beds in the salt marsh. After staying a few minutes he took off and headed toward the trees to roost for the night. Another day transitions into night in the marshland!
One of these days I’m coming to your salt flats so you can show me your magic. So beautiful Phil! Love GBH’s. have one that tells me good night every night.
Well you have to come visit! I’ll introduce you around to some alligator pals.
Happy you liked these.
Those birds can be loud squawkers.
I absolutely love that second pic, it looks as though he especially struck a pose even before his feet touched the ground.
I agree with you. Hopestar. It’s like he’s saying, “Ta-da” before taking a bow, as in the the next pic.
Thanks! He might have been showing off a little.
Fabulous photos, once again, Phil.
I really appreciate the kind words!
J’aime !
Merci beaucoup Jean-Paul!
Seems like a skinny Great Blue Heron. I wonder if the bird is a juvenal? Beautiful Photos!
He does look a little skinny. Maybe this is the same one that lost out on getting a fish away from an egret earlier this week.
Thanks, glad you like the GBH pics!
Nice captures, Phil.
Thanks much for looking Mike!
that baby needs to eat! He looks larger than the Blue Heron’s I’ve seen out in these parts. Most of the ones I’ve seen have been no bigger than the Snowy White Egret. Beautiful capture! How fortunate are you that you can go out every day and capture these amazing wildlife pics and what a gem you are for sharing them with all of us. Happy Thursday my new friend…
Thanks for your kind comments Mitzi!
