Great Blue Heron Taking Flight

Wish I'd been able to frame this a little better, but still a thrill to "stalk and capture" this big guy.

This is magnificent Rob, the power in those wings, her graceful neck and those lovely little flower heads in the foreground really make a stunning composition! Fav!

Amazing timing and capture

[Milanie]

Love this, Rob. What a great shot. They take off with so little warning usually that it's hard to catch them like this. Love the wing detail. Fav

Nice capture!

Nice, my experience these birds spook easy around the Nashville TN area.

Thanks! They spook easily here in Maine, as well, but drifting in the kayak is a real plus. Yesterday I had a low lever fly over by a group of 5. I've never seen that many together before; either in Maine or Florida!
