Great Blue Heron and water in motion. Something a little different . . .

This little Green Heron was a clever one indeed. There was a swan with its cygnets leisurely paddling up the edge of the lake, picking at the algae and weeds along the edge. Just in front of them was the Green Heron lurking just a little bit ahead, hoping to catch anything that was stirred up by the oncoming swans . . .

This Great Blue Heron was pretty proud of his catch a couple of months ago as it was snagged in the middle of the pond and then walked all of the way back to the shoreline where it gave it a couple of thumps with its bill before enjoying the tasty treat.

Look at those feet! This great blue heron had been wading along the shoreline not too far away when it decided to fly to the other side of the lake. I captured a few frames as it flew away, and while reviewing the images later, I was struck by the size of its feet and toes! Further research led me to the fact that Great Blue Herons have pectinate toes. Huh? . . .
