Great Blue Herons normally fly with their necks folded and tucked in. But this GBH went for the full stretched out look as it flew above the marsh pond yesterday morning.

Like many of us, the Great Blue Heron may have decided that the best way to make progress was to stick his neck out. It does seem like a more streamlined position for flight.

Maybe he’s in a hurry? The more he stretches out, the more likely he is on target! 😉

Nice shot, Phil! Looks like he was going for the win, sticking his neck out as he crossed the finish line. ;o) It’s definitely a winning photo!
