Liftoff From a Log

I saw this Great Blue Heron on a log at the pond In Alton Baker Park and figured it would take off sooner or later. So I waited and was rewarded with this photo. Just no doubting my love for herons. :)

Nikon D3 ,Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG/HSM
1/800s f/6.3 at 320.0mm iso360 full exif
