GBH fix

This great blue heron was the “unexpected flyby” in the previous/ below picture. He parked himself on top of a tree close by and sat there for quite a while. I was excited to see him since my old friend the heron hasn’t returned to Constitution Gardens in the District this year, and I needed a GBH fix.

Taken in dreadful weather at Piscataway National Park on the Maryland side of the Potomac River.

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

A perch that could not be better this Heron and a very nice portrait .
When you have a camera handy it pays big dividends at times.
Nice clear background .
