A Great Blue Heron flew across one of the canals at the edge of rice field…
…feet down for the landing
Flaps up…
Splashless touchdown…
And tucked right into the tall grass.
If I hadn’t seen him fly in I probably wouldn’t have spotted him.

Wonderful sequence of photos! They certainly blend in to the autumn grasses.
Thanks, Belinda, glad that you liked them. Yes, we are starting to look “autumnish.” The kids here went back to school this week, hardly seems that it should be that time again already!
