We are at that time of year when there is a lot of Great Blue Heron activity in the swamp at the end of the day with last minute nest building, one mate returning to the nest after feeding, and new-comers looking for a spot. Unfortunately the sun has dipped below the tree line and there is very little light to capture the action.
So silhouettes are an interesting option. I particularly like this next one with the heron’s foot flexed.
This heron settled down, probably wondering where to spend the night. Not all of the singles are paired with a mate yet with a nest to return to.
Wow these silhouettes are absolutely stunning!! I love the one where you still see one of its toes touching the branch, so elegantly. I think these silhouettes are way more impressive than any sunlight could have added to the photos. Thanks for sharing them!
Thank you! What lovely comments and I’m glad you enjoyed the images.
