Blue heron in the Holland Marsh Canal looking for dinner
A bit wary of me and my camera but too greedy to fly away, this heron has just finished eating a fish and is hunting for more.

I've had glimpses of these birds but never been able to get a picture. love this one.
What a handsome figure he cuts!
Beautiful photo of this gorgeous heron ... love the colors and the reflections. I've shared Birds from my Rainy Day walk this week.
Hugs and blessings,
EG: What a beautiful capture, I would have liked to see the reflection also.
Seems you got in real close. It's looking for dinner and keeping an eye on you!
Great capture. He is beautiful, or should I say, handsome?
You have caught this bird perfectly... excellent shot
Wonderful capture of the Great Blue Heron, it is a beauty. Thanks for sharing your critter.
That is a wonderful picture of a heron. I love the texture of the blades behind it, and I love the touch of fall. Beautiful as always! What kind of a camera do you have. I am looking into getting a new one, so I am really curious.
Anyway, I have an award for you but I couldn't find an email contact for you. I hope that its ok that I give it to you here.

Oh my gosh! That is a wonderful photo. I feel like I am standing right there! Beauriful bird!
WOW!!!! This is a wonderful photo!!! I love all the detail, and the fact that you got so close!!!
That's a very striking bird!
Perfect timing. I guess Great Blues are everywhere. I love taking their picture because I think they don't want me too. Ha!! MB
BTW: We have whole bunches of Islands out here. In fact I have a booklet titled 'Islands to visit in Washington'. Some ferry boat ride, some with a bridge and some islands only by private boat. There are quite a few just from where I live. Easy accessability. All in salt water around here. MB
Magnificent!
What a nice close up! Hard to get this close to them. Awesome!
Oh, wow! This is a great capture!
Let's hope this heron is a better fisherman than I, or he'll starve to death.
Outstanding! I love the color, the composition, and the detail.
I love this photo! Wow! A majestic bird in a majestic setting! You captured this beautifully!
Wow, you got really close to this one. Great shot!
