Obligatory GBH *

Milpitas, California

This will be the fourth year that I've made calendars of my recent nature photos. The first year, there was only one bird, a Great Blue Heron. After that, all the photos were of birds. I've included a Great Blue Heron every year.
Since the flowers in the background suggest summer, I'll probably use this photo for June.

Beautiful! I like the way the dark, curvy line of the wing comes from the corner. --Melanie

Thanks. This guy is very tolerant of humans, which is unusual in California. If you want to get really close to herons, you should go to the Florida Everglades.

Nice one. The flowers add that little extra and my heron-shot-envy just got worse. Do you feed them tranquilizers?
