Great Blue Heron

Captured at Sweetwater Wetlands. Notice the blue color around it's eye (tried to make the pic large enough to see). That is some of the breeding color of the heron.

Great timing for this shot! He's stretched out like a plane soaring!

What a super capture.

I’ve never noticed that bright blue around the eye before. Not sure if I was looking in the wrong season or just not paying enough attention. Next time I can get a close up I’ll pay more attention.
