Title: Great Blue Heron
Post by: Rob'in'To on July 13, 2011, 11:21:44 AM

Pretty cool to see one of these guys up so close.  He didn't have much care of my presence as a pair of Baltimore Orioles were constantly buzzing and squawking at him (see in the second shot with the female Oriole in the upper left).  The second shot was about 45 minutes later when I passed him once again and all he'd done was turn around.

Thanks everyone.  He was such a co-operative Heron.  I do hope to see him again in my travels.   :D

Lawn ornament, good one Dave!
