Wild Bird Wednesday
More shots taken at the State Park. This is the Great Blue Heron in flight ...
I assume he got to where he was going, though , for some reason I failed to catch him landing (I don't remember why, but I assume I was distracted by something or someone :) These birds are magnificent. We used to have a rookery on one of the channels, but it was blown down in a storm two summers ago and I haven't been able to locate where they are nesting now. The rookeries are fun ... there are Herons, Egrets and cormorants all nesting in the tops of a group of tree. I do hope I am able to find the new one. Have a wonderful WBW everyone ...

Nice find!! Boom, Bobbi and Gary.

HI Andrea Yes Herons are beautiful elegant bird whether on the ground or in flight. Great shots.
Beautiful bird and such great captures for the day, Andrea! Thanks, as always, for sharing the beauty!!
Great shots, one of the birds I haven't yet captured with the camera.
Incredible images. Which fill me with awe. Thank you.
You got some amazing flight shots!
wonderful photos!
Nice shots - you are so diligent in your pursuit.
Awesome shots of the Heron in flight. I just find them so fascinating to watch.
There are a few spots where they gather, from Grayslake to Grass Lake to Nippersink Lake. As things disturb them, they mive or adjust. I hope they come back to some old ones.
Herons are awesome!
