Great Blue Heron takes to flight as it moved from one side of the channel to the other.

Not every time out can you expect to find these large birds…when you happen across one it’s great fun to watch.

Not much to say about this one…other than if you wait long enough the Heron will take to flight.

Very much enjoy watching these large shore birds…3-4 ft tall with a wingspan of 60-70 in. Herons are very cautious birds, and will often take flight once they have spotted something that they feel is a threat.
Therefore one needs to use the vehicle as a blind to watch these birds.
They spend most of their time slowly wading along the shoreline in search of food…stopping and standing motionless for minutes at a time. Then perhaps a strike for food or once again moving on.
Still have not been able to find a nest site…perhaps one day ?
