Great Blue Heron
Early this morning I photographed this great blue heron flying against the trees at the edge of the marsh pond.
The great blue is one of the larger wading birds and may stand up to 4 feet tall. It can commonly be seen in many areas and is one of my favorite birds.
The great blue can rarely be intimidated, and will stand up to practically any other bird in the marsh including the bald eagle.

Fantastic shot

Thanks very much Kathy! It helps to come back with a halfway decent photo because I’m not a huge fan of getting up early. 🙂
