Heron On The Hunt



Day 138: Great Blue Herons are hard to resist when you have a camera slung around your neck, and I had plenty of willing models at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge today. I had gone to attend a Site Steward workshop and bonus nature-mapping segment, and good weather tempted me out to the end of the boardwalk yet again. The tide was in but receding, and a number of different varieties of duck were feeding in the shallows, accompanied by herons and gulls. I was able to capture images of both Common (Eurasian) and Green-Winged Teal as well. However, the herons always take the place of honor when I sort photos, my eye captivated by their ungainly yet graceful posturing.
