Just so smooth…
They can make flight look completely effortless.
It probably took more work to capture the shots than the Heron to fly by.

Those large wings sure do make it easy for a Great Blue Heron to glide and also to generate a lot of lift-off power. The heron in your shots reminds me of a stealth aircraft flying lower to avoid being picked up on radar. 🙂
Gliding like that was good practice, I’m rusty this time of year… and the nesting has started. Soon they should be ‘zooming’ all around.
Well caught! Great shots. Our resident heron is too shy for me to get anything like as close!
Thanks. They are common in the swamps/marshes here so we do get plenty of opportunities. Thank you for stopping by, please dig around. Literally thousands of images like this.
