After the osprey leave our nearby nest, other birds such as
bald eagles and great blue herons often visit to look around and “play” in a
borrowed nest. I wanted to share a
sequence of photos of this great blue heron. It was feeling lively on the particular
day I photographed and I was thrilled with the various poses that
resulted. It was almost like having a
family portrait session. Now let me see your right profile, your left profile
and please lift your right leg, thank you!
I was glad I had the patience to
wait for all of the ways it moved. Now if only I could do it again with a longer
lens. These are all heavily cropped from the originals.
This last photo was taken on another day when it was windy, but I think it is the same heron posing.
