My usual shots of the Blue Heron were in the water
standing stick straight waiting for a fish

Or an unusual sighting in a tall pine tree... They do nest
in the tops of trees.

The flying shots not so easy to get

It had always been hard for me to catch the Great
Blue in the air

on this trip I lucked out big time. While watching
for Eagles this gem of a bird came flying down the
creek...

I was able to get all his wing movements

as he soared and flapped his wings

The legs straight out in back of him

at times looking like a jet plane
The largest and most widespread heron in North America,

If you've never heard them calling... They have a deep
hoarse croak and it is loud

When I heard this one it reminded me of a dog barking

You will find them along creeks, rivers, ponds and even
at the ocean from Florida to the Caribbean
I just loved this trip and the BIF action I was able to capture
