Sovereign of the Swamp





Great Blue Heron announcing his arrival to his territory.


 




I first spotted this Great Blue Heron, a few days ago, hiding in the far reaches of the marshland. This marsh is completely his kingdom (though he occasionally lets a few pelicans share the lease). 

This morning, I waited... and waited... for "His Highness" to make an appearance. But when he finally returned to his wetlands, he didn't just slide in quietly. He announced his arrival with a thunderous, unmistakable cry, and I was lucky enough to capture that very moment.

Generally, life is good.
