The only bird I try to catch from behind.
Great Blue Herons have an extra layer of feathers (Caplet) along their wings and shoulders. When they land with outstretched wings the feather layers make a great image.
My position was perfect for this landing. He was kind enough to croak and squawk all the way, as only a big Heron can do.

Tah Dah!!!!
LOL, pretty much. Considering they are almost as tall as me they can make a heck of an entrance.
Big, beautiful, Blue! Great series.
Thank you 🙂 This is a good time to catch them in the marshes. The cane and reeds can make a nice background (or totally mess things up).
