This is a male heron gathering sticks for the nest. I kept the images wide to keep as much of the surrounding swamp as possible.
While the bird is important to the photograph these were also about the location too. Tupelo trees, with Spanish Moss, and a flying heron, make a much more dramatic photo.



Hard working herons! Beautiful photos.
Thank you. I seem to be taking as many landscape type photographs as wildlife here.
Beautiful and serene. I love how you captured it with the stick in its mouth!
Thanks, 😀
Should have said “Beak” or “Bill.” Anyway, gorgeous!
It all works 😂😂😂
