Description
I spotted this fellow displaying his breeding plumage while driving by a golf course. My passengers had to cool their heels while I captured his (obviously proud) pose.
Glad you popped by!

Great Blue Heron, great capture! There always seems something sinister in a heron's eyes, quite evident in this photo. Nicely done

How could you capture this one? Here they are always so very shy, even those that live in public parks... 300mm tele I guess ;-)

They are amazing looking birds. I photographed one a few months ago from a much greater distance with the wrong size lens, but I could tell it was a special looking bird. Your shot just confirms that.
