Heron


We've had some exceptionally warm weather lately so I took the kids to the marina to enjoy the sun. As we walked the sidewalk that borders the marina, I looked down and happened to see this heron sitting on the shore less than ten feet from me. It was a bit agitated to have me so close, but not enough to fly away so we were able to watch it for a bit.

  2. I think they have eerie eyes. Great shot and so glad he didn't fly away.

  3. Love these birds...we have a lot of them in Stone Creek as we have a number of ponds. But they're usually too skittish to get as close as you did. Excellent photo!

  4. J'aime la fière allure de ces oiseaux plongeurs et pêcheurs.
