Haughty Heron

We are having dark cloudy days and rain the last few days. But the weather doesn't keep the birds from their daily activity. I watched as two Great Blue Herons postured and pranced, in dispute over an area of the ponds. This heron just moved away from conflict as the other approached, bristled for action. Even though it retreated, it still shows a haughty attitude. I love its pose!

I love its pose too and what a great shot. Often, as here, a rainy day makes for fabulous
lighting and tones.
