These are three different Great Blue Herons I saw around the ponds on a recent walk.
At this time of year they are pretty content to just stand around in the sun.
This corner of the pond is completely covered in duck weed. All that green gives the appearance of full summer, despite it being early November.
Nice with the green in the foreground in the first picture. I’ve never thought about what a nice beard it also has.
Thanks, Hans.
