This Great Blue Heron was alert and posturing as he staked his claim to a potential nest site.

It was a dark afternoon, even had been sprinkling a bit. I processed these each a little differently, trying to compensate for the lack of light.

A Great Egret flew by but did not stop as the GBH gave a pointed look.

the light is missing at the moment everywhere only gray in gray. but your photos have become good.

We do seem to be stuck in that gloomy pattern. Thanks Werner.

The bare trees and light add to the mood, and then there’s the heron’s stance in the last photo😊. Very nice!

Thanks, and they can poke intruders with it, too, as we get into nesting season!
