Great Blue Heron #1

Taken at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve near Chilliwack
yesterday afternoon. The most of the herons I saw were high up in nests
and now and then one would fly overlead occasioning these photos.

Perfect the way he spreads his wings out. Very nice, Cliff.

It amazing that they build their nests out of small trees like that!
good catch Cliff.

Until I moved to Florida, I never got close enough to any rookery to photograph the action... fun, huh??
