GBH on Tippy Toes

Filed Under Herons, Spring 2011

I went out to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge after work tonight. I had a pretty good evening and have several photographs to post over the next few days. This Great Blue Heron was stretching out to take off from its perch high in a tree. Nice drumsticks!

This heron was lucky to find some open water on a frozen marsh tonight. The hole seemed to be filled with fish as the Great Blue Heron was successful on nearly every plunge.

Filed Under Herons, Spring 2010

We so often see Great Blue Herons standing in the water. It is interesting to see their long legs and big feet.
