Great Blue Heron

Lake Frederick, Virginia

Hiked along the edge of the parking lot (solid ice) and went up onto the top of the earthen dam (need good traction boots).
After hiking about half the distance across the earthen dam, spotted this very cold looking heron trying to get some sun.

Hard times for this heron. Good rendering of this frozen ambiance !

Doesn't look too impressed! I can't blame it, cold and I guess the pickings might be lean too.

Poor thing. He’ll be wishing he headed a bit further south.
