Hoping to look its best to a potential mate this Great Blue Heron spent considerable time preening, his breeding plumage fanned out in the wind.

The herons have considerable flexibility and stretching ability.

Primping done, he was ready at last to make the call.

What a beaut! That last shot is spectacular!
