OLD BLUE

Fort Worth, TX

That is what they call this Great Blue Heron at the marina where he hangs out a lot. This guy is not afraid of people at all. Let me get up close to take this shot.

Another winner! You are so lucky to have that understanding with animals that allows you to take super shots like this

Nice portrait. Like I say, you have a way with the animals.

Nice shot! The ones around here are pretty skidish, of course it is a little too cold now.

GBH are simply wonderful birds, they are very intelligent, we had a orphan GBH at the Victoria Heronry who used to wait at a bus stop for the lady who always came to feed him. Great capture.......Jess
