Great Blue Heron, landing gear down
GBHs are still here providing entertainment! The heron doesn't appear graceful in this photo but it did land quietly.

Love the impressive wingspan on this heron!
Wings are so majestic, aren't they?
Perfect timing, and such beautiful photographs!
That's a perfect landing.
Scores a 9.9.
the first one i thought EEK when i saw it, like that is what he is saying. the other three are amazing, love those lifting wings..
Hi EG Wonderful capture of the Heron landing and beautiful reflection in the last shot
Beautiful landing photos!
Greetings, RW & SK
Oh, but they are very graceful!

Love those feet! :)
Stunning images...the lighting is perfect...and I always enjoy the herons. By the way, your commentary is a fun, added plus!!!
I always think they look so un-contained...for lack of a better word. And totally, totally surprises me when they land in trees. Even if I saw it every day, I would still be spellbound as I watched them.
Wow - great action shots! Blue herons are amazing birds.
Great image series you show. Thanks for the comment on my blog :) Hanne Bente
Fabulous pictures of the GBH. I love the toes in the first photo. He must be really concentrating on making a good landing.
Well caught.
so cute! love these birds!
I love the positions of the wings in the second and third shot. Really great shots.
Wonderful captures!
Beautiful series of the heron landing.
Gorgeous shots!
What a beautiful set of photos. It's incredible how graceful and elegant these creatures are (even if this one did look a little clumsy).
Wonderful series!!! I love the way you can get close enough to capture moments like this!!!
Stunning photos of the beautiful bird! :)
and your theme sounds fine, coming in for a landing, as it's a long time since I've visited you (and all the other bloggers), so
"here I come - landing on my two feet!" ;D
Love his wee toes spread out for landing in that 1st shot! ;-)
What a great series. The wingspan of these birds is huge...send what you've got left of them down this way for the winter, OK. Any obnoxious humans you can keep up there. :))
Fantastic shots.
Never seen a shot of a frontal landing of a blue heron, great wingspan. Lovely series of shots!
Wow, these are fantastic. I thought the first one was a sculpture at first.
One of my favorite birds to watch. You got some awesome action shots.
Fantastic shots! I love the landing gear down and those wings after the landing.
Magnificent GBH shots! I'd be quite pleased if I ever took shots like this:) How marvelous to see that wingspan up close!
While all of these photos are wonderful, I really like your first one. It's a great capture.
You captured their grace perfectly!
Those herons are the coolest birds!
=)
I love watching these guys! They are so beautiful in flight and on the ground. It's the transition period between the two that makes look a bit ungainly. Great photos!
Love these sequence images, this heron is gorgeous!

Amazing shots!
It must be the long legs that keep it from looking graceful.
what a shot
