Never, ever, mess with a lady on her nest.
Every year one Great Blue is a bully, wants to visit with another’s mate, even steal a nest.
Female Great Blue Heron’s are big, predators, and probably pregnant.
The first of several ‘lessons’ taught to this one.
You can probably tell, the female is on the left, the stranger on the right.
Wow, what an action! Great shot!
Thanks so much. That should be the first of many. The mating season just started. Dig around when you have time. I’ve been photographing this for years so there are literally thousands of shots here.
