I’ve been a blue heron paparazzi the past few weeks, snooping and lurking, and I finally caught him.
And if you think that’s wild – have a look at this shot!
I must admit, I’m not sure in the heron world whether he’s being a complete dork or a total stud in this photo. We’ll have to keep a close eye on the “Hot or Not?” column in the Heron Daily.
He was just hangin with his buddy.
Then I could see they were getting ready to make a move. When they took off – I panicked – it looked like they were coming straight at me! Oh yeah… zoom. (Placing me squarely in the ‘Not’ column.)
When I saw the photo afterwards it did NOT have the same impact! But as my friend Lissa noticed – the heron looks like some sort of prehistoric creature, all angles and old shapes. The wingspan was pretty impressive too.
