Blue Heron

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Mike

I have enjoyed the last several days in a quiet state park, and found this beauty standing still and snatching small fish. This image is at full 300mm and is hand held.

We have the Green cay Wetlands near us and it’s amazing how much time can pass by just watching nature.

I love the reflection of the reeds and bird. Too bad you didn’t have a shot of him catching fish in “action.” 🙂 I’m fond of those action shots.
