SO MUCH RAIN in September, even the long-legged Great Blue Herons have to learn to swim. LOL

Quite an extraordinary capture. I don't think I have seen a heron in quite this pose :-) Well done!

Great capture, Hank!

I've never seen this behavior from them, either. A great capture and a scene we're not likely to see too often.

I don't think I have ever seen one in this much water. Terrific image, Hank!
