Great Blue Heron Landing Moments


  

There is something very special about Great Blue Heron's landing that is always thought very carefully from the beginning till the end.  This Heron draws his feet and legs forward and flares his wings. He prepares to plant his feet on the soft marsh. 







Apparently, the bird had too much momentum that it paused for a while after landing keeping this wings down.








Holding himself in this position just for a moment...






 
The Heron is almost relaxed.

It's very unusual for me to get a few sharp photos of bird's landing without clipping some body parts but that gloomy grey morning at Farmington Bay I was lucky.

What a nice morning it was, what a great opportunity!

Generally, life is good!
