Surprise visitor

Not the sharpest capture, but taken from quite a distance and the only one we could get of this green heron, which we’ve never seen at Constitution Gardens. The ducks and geese there weren’t bothered by our presence and pretty much let us approach them, but the heron fled as soon as we saw him.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
