Great Blue Heron Up In A Tree

.

With the marsh flooded at Chesapeake Farms, I just had to look other places to find birds.

A-ha!  I spotted a Great Blue Heron resting up in a tree along the road.  I almost missed it as I passed by, s/he blended in so well.  Ever so slowly I was able to back up for a couple shots.

Despite their impressive size, a Great Blue Heron weighs only 5 to 6 pounds, thanks in part to their hollow bones.  This is a feature all birds share.
