Two “Different Takes” of a Great Blue Heron
I’ve not been able to get out with my cameras and so have been going through photos taken this past winter, specifically my Great Blue Heron images.
This Great Blue Heron was photographed back in February at Blackwater NWR.
The cloudy day created soft reflections on the still water.

As I started to turn away to leave, the heron took flight. I quickly tried to re-zoom and focus, capturing the following blurry image.

It’s not what I planned! But I thought it turned out pretty cool after all.
I was sorry I spooked him; but am happy to report when I ‘re-looped’ the wildlife drive, he was back in his spot as I slowly cruised by. It’s a location where you can easily find a Great Blue Heron fishing at the refuge.
