I saw this Great Blue Heron at Richardson Park along Fern Ridge Lake. Some visitors spooked the heron so it took to flight. I took advantage of this and stopped it in mid air. Those big birds are always a fascination to me. As big as they are, with six foot wingspan, they weigh only about 5 lbs! Birds don't need cumbersome airplanes to get them in the air. They were just born that way!
