You made a good point with your photograph Karen. When those herons stand motionless against the right background they can be inconspicuous for such a large bird.
They do blend in with their great patience for standing still and watching for prey.. Great capture for this week's Nature Notes.. thank you for participating Karen..Michelle

Isn't he just gorgeous! Glad you stopped to find him. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteSo how DID you spot it? I wonder if he knows he's almost the same colour as the background??!!
ReplyDeleteOne can't get too much of those majestic Great Blues! Glad you saw it.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen
ReplyDeleteYou would have seen it for sure when the teradaktal type bird took to the air and blocked out the sunlight ...lol
What a great capture, I never noticed that beautiful crown before. Love those herons!
