30-AUG-2007 BJ Ramsay

Great Blue Heron

Great Falls NP, VA

A real PAD today!
I went to Great Falls in hopes of getting another set of great kayaking shots,
And when I got there there were no kayakers. So I just walked around looking for some shots
and this GBH flew in and landed 20' from me. This is an uncropped shot of just before he landed.
Needless to say even though I did get some great shots of the kayakers, maybe tomorrow's post,
this shot got the nod today ;0)

GMV! A real prize of a shot. I watched one standing in the Ohio River for a long time but it never took flight.
