Up, up and away: Big Blue in Flight

September 27, 2022 XingfuMama 2 Comments

Great Blue Herons aren’t rare around here, and at least three can be seen regularly fishing as the tide changes at Fern Cove.

I caught a few decent pictures of “Big Blue” in flight while I was over at my dad’s last week. They are very graceful birds, and very efficient fishers.

The Great Blue Heron is more grey than blue.

Yesterday at the beach the Great Blue Heron was fishing. I managed to get a few decent pictures of it flying and landing.

Throughout my life many things have provided inspiration. Not feeling any particular motivation right now so I went through all of my digital pictures, and I think I have taken more pictures of the great blue herons that live near my dad’s house than any other single subject. I found myself taking pictures of them again just yesterday.
