It was windy and cold, and this heron was soaking in the sun while keeping a sharp eye on its' surroundings.

In addition to seeing well at night, Great Blue Herons have binocular vision with antiglare and precise depth perception features. A heron’s vision is about three times as detailed as ours, and they can zoom almost instantaneously between telescope and close-up mode. Many of us wish our bird photography cameras were half as good as herons’ eyes!
