Wary eye

The great blue heron didn’t do much while we were at Constitution Gardens, but he did manage to keep an eye on us.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

A nice Blue Heron shot and a very patient bird when it comes to nourishment.
Nice long range capture with nice detail.

His/her glare reminds me of the glare of one of my high school teachers, whose name shall remain anonymous. V
