Bay Photos by Donna

I’m still overflowing with bird photos from my past winter in Florida, so I hope you’re cool with them still popping up for a while.  And…..so, here we go again!  😉

This past February during one of my outings at Fakahatchee Strand’s Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk, I spotted this Green Heron hanging in the partial shade down by the swampy water.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a Great Blue Heron flushed out, alarming both of us!  It caused the Green Heron to fly/jump to another shaded water perch that was luckily still in my line of view.

I really love the photo above and thought it also looked great with a tighter crop.  So you get both.

The Green Heron actually stayed put and calmed back down as previous.  I was tickled with this encounter, said a quick ‘thank you’, and left it be.  🙂  I’m sure s/he was happy with that too!
