Description
Another bird from the Ridgefield NWR. I almost missed this Great Blue Heron. He was so close to the road that I almost looked right past him. But he was more than willing to pose for me once I'd spotted him. The Great Blue Heron is Portland's official bird, and there are many in the area, but it's rare to be able to get this close to one, especially for any length of time. I liked the way the sun was shining through his beak.
Thanks for stopping by, and for all the wonderful comments on yesterday's redtail.

The detail of his feathers is great and so is his reflection. I'm glad you didn't miss him and that he posed so well for you. What a treat that was.
A beautiful image! We have these in Michigan too, and they're always fun to watch.
Those back feathers got my attention. A wonderful shot of this cape he has. The water is great too.
A fantastic cpature Dennis. I not only like the way the sun is shining through his beak, I love the detail in the plumage and the reflections in the water, Sig...

Beautiful portrait of this bird, he really showed off his best side for you!!
A beautiful capture which brings back bad memories (a lost quite a few goldfishes from my pond some years ago ............ and who was guilty .... LOL)The birds are alway a bid shy, but you got him very well in focus!! Excellent! Have a nice day Henk
I love these guys, we have a lot of them up here but no way can I get a shot of one. This is a marvelous shot Dennis. He is so beautiful and tranquil looking.

Superb shot, I'm glad you didn't overlook him!
Wonderful capture! I love the detail in the feathers. So sharp and clear! I'm totally impressed.

Great stuff again, i like how the colour of his body is almost camouflaged by the colour of the water.
I'm happy he was a willing model for you.
