Blustery Blue

The Missus and I went for a walk on a cold and windy day. We saw this Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) seeking shelter in a cove off the James River. Its breast feathers show that it's still breezy on the log.

A lovely image with the bare branches surrounding him.

The heron's disheveled feathers mimic the tree branches.

Very nice

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great capture,. He got a bit of a rough hairdo

Like those ruffled feathers in the breeze

Amazing find. Herons always look so fed up. Fingers crossed this one gets a tasty fish!

Hiding by the branches. Sneaky fella.
