Squawking blue heron
The blue heron was sitting quietly on the dock while I took photos...until a man passed behind me looking for a fishing hole. When the heron took off I noticed that something had injured the bird's right wing. It was quite noisy as it lifted into the air so I hope it wasn't complaining about its wing.

Great picture. Poor injured birdie.
What a spectacular shot!
What a GREAT critter capture! I've seen a lot of white and blue herons around lately but haven't managed to photograph any yet...
Just stunning. What a beautiful bird and spectacular shot - the shape and movement in the wings is sensational. Oh well done!

Oh dear, I just realised the bird is damaged. Let's hope he makes it.

Wonderful capture!
Excellent photo. I've captured them in trees and on foot, but not that well in the air.
The wings look so gigantic! Great picture!
Surreal ... it looks like a painting....love it...

Wonderful shot. I'm very envious as I rarely get details of herons in flight. This shows the wings so well.
Great shot, EG. They sure do make a funny sound--Graa-ack! MB
Fantastic shot! :)
The only thing to disturb the peace in this photo is his squawk and injured wing. Wonderful capture, EG.
Awesome capture!
This is an amazing photograph. You captured the heron at a perfect moment as it took off.
Absolutely stunning!
Wow! Just Wow!
