For the most part Great Blue Herons tend to be easily spooked by us humans…which can provide a challenge to photograph.
There never seems to be any rhyme or reason why some take to flight while others seem very content to hang around the water’s edge.
Sometimes things work out like this content Heron.
For some reason drawing a blank this morning…so short and sweet.
I must have been in stealth mode as I was able to get unusually close to this Great Blue Heron.
You may recall the recent closing statement.
“Of course I managed to get closer to the Heron and Pelicans…but that’s for another day.”
For the most part Herons are easily spooked and not very tolerant of humans. A slow approach had been required…with a step, step and click approach which seemed to have worked on this day along the side of the flooded section of highway.
Cheers !
