Bird watching is one of mine and my husband's favorite hobbies. This great blue heron was taken with my husband pausing on the bridge and watching out for traffic as I shot the photo from the passenger seat through the open window, taking pains not to include him (i.e. the driver) in the shot. Lucky for us, traffic is few and far between on this rarely traveled country lane. Ducks, geese, hawks, egrets and many other fowl frequent this area and it has become one of our favorite bird watching spots. We hope to take our canoe to this spot soon and perhaps venture closer to the big birds.
