Great Blue Heron

Chesapeake Farms includes a 40-acre marsh that is scattered with tree stumps and logs.  Perfect habitat perches for birds.

I came to a slow stop when I spotted this Great Blue Heron as he walked along a log.

And then the sun broke through the clouds, yes!

The heron departed the log and kept on with its slow pace, stalking the waters.

Capturing the classic ‘one-foot up’ stalking pose is always a bonus!

This heron knew exactly where s/he was going, to a fishing hole to the right of the above photo.  Breakfast time!
