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
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
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
To God be the Glory ~~ Great Things He Hath Done

Beautiful job at capturing the Blue Heron in flight...I could almost hear his wings as they flapped up and down !!
I have never seen one sitting in a tree top before (at least in person)....and good for you for getting such good in-flight pictures. I see them flying over where I live, but we have too many trees around. By the time I see them, it's too late...They're out of sight. But, I can always tell what they are by the way their feet stick out behind them.
Glad you had a good trip!
Great Heron photos. Its always nice when the critters play model for you. Photographing birds flying is always easier said than done.
Thank you one and all... and Thank you Glenn for stopping by. Getting flight pictures IS hard but with the new DSLR it's a little easier.
