Young Great Blue Heron


Another fabulous September day today. Of course I was stuck working and missed most of it...

After work I stopped by the park on the way home to enjoy the late afternoon sun. While there I spotted this well-camoflaged bird stalking minnows amonst the grass. While it may be hard to recognize from this shot as a heron, when it took flight (sorry, no pic) it was unmistakable.Posted by Picasa

It looks like you got really close to the heron! (or you zoomed in a lot). I find it hard to get good close up photos of wild animals.

I've just recently become aware that this bird was mis-identified. It is in fact a Green Heron, not a Great Blue Heron.
