Last Sunday at Bear river I decided to collect stories about Great Blue herons. They are incredible birds and I am learning more and more about their behavior.
This heron I found in a very unusual place. There was no water around, only snowy marsh. The heron was resting on a pile of dry grass enjoying the first rays of sun.
After taking this photo I thought why not to take a portrait. My first thought was to photograph the heron head to neck but at last minute I changed my mind and included more of his body.

ReplyDeleteHe seems a watchful guardian of everything, with a very agile eye.
ReplyDeleteparece un poco encogida, debe de tener frío.

Wow, they look fascinating, love the photos:)
ReplyDeleteWe have a heron that lives by our pond. I once saw him eating a huge frog. It was partially in his beak and must have been hanging down at least a foot with his legs outstretched.
ReplyDeletePreciosas tomas de las Garzas, Kaya, con muy buena nitidez. Parece que tienen frió.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Dos grandes fotografías pero la segunda, en esa aproximación, es espectacular por el nivel de detalle que has logrado, la perfección del enfoque en el ojo y el plumaje que puede observarse hasta en los más mínimos detalles.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo,
you did a beautiful job photographing this bird.
ReplyDeleteTan cerca que dan ganas de tocarla. Perfectas amiga.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
