As this Heron took flight, away from my location, I thought it would end like most of the others. A perfect shot of ‘Bird Butt’. Not so.
The series below was captured because the entire flight was about 30 yards. I guess he was looking for a better fishing spot. Great, since I caught the take off and landing. Never had that happen before.
First the take off…
Now getting distance…
Planning the landing…
Touch down…
In hind sight he might have been able to jump that far.
These are super nice! Love the color of the feathers, lovely motion shots and perfect background even do seems to busy it fits perfectly!
Thanks. If the heron had flown a little further I might have missed most of it. This time luck was with me.
Amazing photos. There’s a great blue heron that lives much of the year in the pond next to my walking path. It returns year after year and has endeared the species to me. I can’t believe you got these shots!
I helps to live in the South Carolina USA Lowcountry. Coastal marshes and swamps. if you should dig around the web site you will see I have plenty of practice.
