The Sheer Beauty of Flight!

What a delight to see this Great Blue Heron take flight at the pond in Alton Baker Park! I marveled at the sheer beauty of such a big bird, so elegant in flight! I am sure you can understand why it's one of my favorites of all birds.
That's why I have a gallery full of heron images in my Pbase collection. - http://www.pbase.com/fotabug/herons
