Great Blue Heron At Rest

I don't believe I have ever seen a heron lying down like this one did at Delta Ponds. I was quite surprised. After a while it got up and began browsing along the water's edge. I guess all creatures feel the need for a break once in a while!

Not something I've seen before, except when they're in a nest. Well shot, Vern.

My first thought was about it resting...very unusual but a lovely photo, especially love the foreground pebbles. V

Nice catch of this handsome bird.

Great find and image Vern. Not too often one finds them resting on the grass like that.

Sick? Did you inform park Rangers?
Bea.18-Jul-2018 08:11
Certainly a different pose, well caught.

Very nice! I only saw them lying down on their nests! And only the Grey, not the Blue... V
