I Have Arrived | Phil Lanoue Photography

I Have Arrived

Everyone knows how great blue herons have a way of making a huge production out of just about anything they do. no matter how routine it may be.

They often feel compelled to loudly announce their comings and goings, and sometimes have to let the whole world know even when they are just standing around.

On an earlier occasion, when this GBH flew in from the back edge of the marsh and proceeded to land right in front of us, it sure looked like he wanted it to be a dramatic entrance. And of course, as usual, it was.

For once, I’m lost for superlatives, Phil. Mr. GBH is such a cool character. 🙂

  Sometimes I think they believe they are the stars of their own show, and I guess in some ways they are. 🙂

Some folks are just like that, but with wings and feathers like that I suppose he’s entitled.

  Yes that’s exactly it. He may be a bit of a show off, but then again he has attributes to show off.

  They are probably my favorite bird out there (well until the spoonbills show up) and I always enjoy the active and exciting GBH!
