A Great Blue #Heron walks across a shallow #pond in the Merritt Island National #Wildlife Refuge.
It seems to be taking its steps carefully and is looking backward to create an excellent profile #photograph.
The great blue herons have figured out where the trout are stocked. They line up with the anglers to catch fish, but they do not practice catch and release.
"Hey, get off of this rock! This is my rock!" The great blue heron was very uninterested in sharing its favorite fishing spot. Instead it bullied the black-crowned night heron until the other bird left. Great blue herons are never taught to share nicely, I guess.
I see lots of herons in High Park, but rarely if ever anywhere other than in or right beside the water. This bird had wandered pretty far inland, and was walking around slowly but deliberately. I wonder where s/he was headed.
Every waterway in Northern Virginia has great blue herons hanging around hunting for fish. This hidden heron was fishing from a log in the middle of Bull Run.
This Great Blue Heron is seen landing on a seashell laden sandy shoal in the ocean. This is a composite of my original bird photography and seashore/ocean textures.
