This Heron was pulling back and braking to slow down. The crest feathers show this as an adult.
When a Great Blue lands they lean back, almost stand up, to slow down. They can (usually) drop down into a gentle landing now.
Great Blue Coming To Land
This is an excellent photo taken, the Heron with a beautiful long tail -feathers, the wings straighten up and, two legs confident for landing. Beautiful photo.
Timing was right for this shot. Thank you
