I’m not sure I can describe where this Heron is standing. It’s a salt marsh, in a well hidden cut. Between the solid land and this bird is a series of small dry hummocks with brush and trees.
To get this shot you need to cross a thin raised trail to a tiny island. A jungle kind of look and feel…water had better be low.
Great Blue Herons love to stand on the stumps here. I can see them, never a clean shot though.
Anyway, the other day he was there, things looked dry and safe. I went for it.
Is it a great shot, amazingly different… no. In fact, the one I saw in my head was better.
Basically a boring story embellished because I wanted this image LOL.
