Beautiful Touchdown!

No, not talking about football, though there are lots of bowl games to watch right now. There is not a more beautiful touchdown than this one! 🧐 This Great Blue Heron weighs about five pounds, so it can easily land and perch on those small twigs and branches at the top.

1/2000s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso1000
