Flying Low Over Delta Ponds

I have seen a green heron in the area lately, perhaps two. I saw one at Alton Baker Park and one at Delta Ponds. But they are not far apart, so it could be the same heron in both places. Anyway, I was fortunate to capture it in flight, something I have found hard to do.
