Preening

Cleaning and adjusting feathers is an important behavior for the Great Blue Heron and other birds at the Lagoon, and they spend lots of time doing it.

I like the graceful curve of the heron’s neck as it works its long bill through the soft gray plumage. The close-up captures the texture of the layered feathers beautifully, and that bright yellow eye draws you right in....V
