Stalking the Ardea Herodias...


...or Great Blue Heron...


Illustration by John James Audubon


Although I take just about the same route every time I take a walk in my neighborhood, there always seems to be something different to take pictures of...today a Great Blue Heron was wading in a shallow part of a nearby pond. I waited quite awhile to see if I could capture him flying but he was the more patient observer...








My camera isn't capable of much in the way of telephoto pictures...but I was fairly pleased. On the other hand I wasn't pleased at how muddy my dog managed to get while I was busy taking pictures...
