It's amazing on blue herons can scrunch up their necks and bodies. To my surprise and delight, this guy landed on a dock I was standing on at Green Lake last week which enabled be to get a couple of quick shots before he flew off.
Great capture - not a friend of herons at the moment - Found one hovering over my fish pond today - shood it off - I hope he does not return! My innocent little fish come to the surface as any sight or movement in the hope of food ! - hope they stay safe!!
