Even with all their practice not every landing goes well.
Out here there are sharp reeds, soft mud, and scores of other issues.
Most all landings have a happy ending though.
Note; I just looked at these again, taken maybe two days ago. Click to view a full size. The bird came out pretty good. LOL.
Beautiful little bird. Nicely done!
😀, thanks.
I love little blue herons!… This is a great example of how graceful they can be.
Thank you. I love to watch them hunt, bobbing and weaving their head around LOL
