Stepping Out

I was right above this Great Blue Heron on a footbridge near Delta Ponds and watched as he waded the floodwaters of the Willamette River searching for food. I like his pose.

All he needs is a swagger-stick and he'd fit a parade-ground anywhere.

Nice timing to catch this elegant wader.

Oh, yes, I can see the heron is stepping out. Good timing!

Another excellent Heron shot. We have the occasional one here, but they're extremely shy of people.

A wonderful capture, he must have been hungry as he just ignored you while he hunted. V
