Great Blue Heron

This was my "red-letter" day for finally getting a good photo of a heron! This one was sitting quite close to the road and didn't fly off. After we saw this one we saw two others at a greater distance, but all less than 1/2 mile from each other. Normally we might go for weeks without seeing any herons close enough to photograph!

Many thanks for your visits, comments, and favs. All very much appreciated!
Nice spotting and terrific capture.

Oh wow! An outstanding capture, Barb! How did you keep your hands from sharking while you took the photo? :-) Fav!!!

@365projectorgheatherb Thanks, Heather! I took the photo from inside our truck with my window rolled down. I probably asked Ken to turn the truck off to minimize vibration. This was the best of three nearly identical shots. However, the other two were slightly blurry, no doubt due to an unsteady hand.
