Blue Heron Cooling Off!

Or at least, that's what I think it was doing. It was just standing there with it's mouth open, seeming to be breathing somewhat heavy. Was rather warm here today, but guess the heron could have gotten into the water if it really needed to cool off.

Birds can't shed heat through sweat so all bird will pant to cool down in hot weather. Nice capture.

Great the way you've surrounded the bird with golden grasses.
