Description
I had no sooner shown up at the pond, than this beautiful Great Blue Heron, with his slow, deep wingbeats, flew by.
"This stately heron often stands motionless as it scans for prey, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher. In flight, look for this widespread heron's tucked-in neck and long legs trailing out behind."
-- Quote taken from Cornell Lab of Ornithology's website

When I see a Great Blue Heron it is a special day. I once watched one stealthily catch a fish and it was a thrill. This is the best photo of a heron in flight that I have ever seen....thank you for showing me a closeup through your lens~ like/f
