Still here in Ontario - Great Blue Heron
A is for AMAZING
I am amazed that this great blue heron was still here last weekend. I guess the fishing must still be good, as this GBH hasn't left yet for a warmer clime!
I am linking to Jenny Matlock at Alphabe-Thursday HERE
It always brings me such joy to see a great blue heron. When I was young they thought that the gbh's were forever gone from this part of the country but in the last two decades we've experienced a tremendous comeback.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for that!
Oh wonderful shot he better get going if he likes the warmth I hear COLD is creeping into Ontario very soon. Love the shot. B
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome capture!
ReplyDeletehe is beautiful, tell him to get himself on down here to the beaches, i am waiting.
ReplyDeleteI hope he comes here for his winter vacation. We have quite a few already but we need one in residence on our pond!
ReplyDeleteThat bird struck an elegant pose for you.
ReplyDeleteThat bird struck an elegant pose for you.
ReplyDeleteIf you have that much open water, you must be warmer than we are here! Great photo, though!!
ReplyDeleteHeron's are such graceful creatures! Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeletewon*der*ful!
ReplyDeleteI am a Ontario girl but more to the up north country girl since hubby and I have retired. Not the city Ontario girl.
ReplyDeleteAway from the city traffic to peaceful country.
My family calls me the camera girl also.
I do admit they are soooo right.
Nice pictures.All of them you have taken.
Beautiful picture, perfect reflection.
ReplyDeleteIf I could fly I'd be gone!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors!
ReplyDelete=)
We have them nesting in the river in the woods here that runs around our village . They are amazing creatures . Wonderful photo ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteMaybe he'll fly down to Florida when it gets cold up there (I'll look for him when we get there ;>).....beautiful reflection of this stately bird!
ReplyDeleteOoh, wonderful capture! I love clarity and beauty of your images (I still see many GBH's here - it's been mild - but all I get off my point-and-shoot is a nice blue blur:)
ReplyDeleteI think it is probably confused with the glorious weather we are having?
ReplyDeleteGreat photo,
Gill
A good thing for you , you could get a fantastic picture!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of him to pose like that...
ReplyDeleteA lovely heron and reflection. He'll be down here shortly. I've seen lots of his cousins recently. Of course, some of our herons are sooooo smart, they stay here all year!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! WHat a perfect reflection of one of my favourite birds. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflection.
ReplyDeleteI adore Blue Herons. In my blog post today, I have a shot of a heron in the distance.
ReplyDeleteCool! Was this taken at Cranberry Marsh?
ReplyDeleteI like seeing them, though it's a little less amazing here, as they grace us with their presence 365 days of the year.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Great reflection shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the great blue heron. We have them year round and I always wonder what the ones that live at the lake do when the lake freezes. It doesn't freeze every winter but there are years when it's been frozen solid for part of the winter. I guess they figure out something.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful reflection!
