Bay Photos by Donna

Another share of my ‘winter blues’!

We have Great Blue Herons year-round, and I will still stop to photograph a lovely composition shot.

I even have a ‘resident’ that I see quite often fishing in the marsh pond behind my house at low tide.  We almost collided this afternoon when we surprised each other at close range.  (I am good at sneaking up to this pond! hehe)

Great Blue Heron (my ‘backyard’ frequent visitor)

Another shot of my buddy heron

More from the past couple months…

Breezy conditions, ruffling the feathers

I literally pulled right up alongside the above Great Blue Heron, and it took flight to land on the other side of the tidal pond.

That’s a 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 ft wingspan!
(167-201 cm)

Not feeling too threatened, it moved along on it’s mission to fish.

Last but not least, my favorite of the recent Great Blue Heron scenes.

That’s some nice habitat!

Great Blue Heron ‘stink’ eye, telling me time to move on!
