Description
My goal on this photo outing was a blue heron. I was thrilled with so many other gorgeous large birds but alas no heron. As the day got long and we got tired, at the last minute...This beautiful blue heron landed very near to our canoe and just posed regally. The color is seems almost iridescent and most people tell me the bird is a more gray color, however this one was true blue as was another like it I saw in the distance. Hope you enjoy the amber eye and the combo of blue and yellow in his beak. I will post more of him as the legs are yellow and blue striped and quite fascinating. Aaaaaahhhh, nature, God's paradise.

Thanks Mary so much! the light was angled at that hour so sometimes it may cast a color, not sure but he is a beauty!

Fantastic shot and unique color for a blue heron. I wonder if it's a "cousin" as I've never seen the eye that color. Remarkable!

I SO love this Judy. Unbelievably beautifully blue! And such a bright beady eye and magnificent beak. You must have been delighted to capture such a magnificent close-up! v/f
