High stepping heron hunched over.
Herons look so much smaller when their heads are lower on curved necks.
I heard the heron hiss before I saw it where it was partially hidden.
This heron was hunting fish from a fish feeding station intended to help encourage a larger fish population.
Have you ever heard the saying: if you feed the birds you feed the birds. The meaning being that by feeding prey birds you encourage predators like hawks. This is a case of: If you feed the fish you feed the herons.
These shots of the great blue herons are a mix of ones I've taken at several lakes over the past few years.

what a beautiful series of photo's. The heron is such an elegant bird.
Love herons, and your great pictures here, Carver!
H is for...
They are such regal, interesting birds.
Great captures.
Wonderful shots of Heron.
I love watching Herons - especially when they're walking and fishing...so graceful!
We have hordes (spelling???) of herons where I live! One of my favourite birds to photograph.

beautiful bird shots!
Depending on the positions of the neck, this bird takes on many personas. Proud, hunched or lurching forward towards the next meal, it is a magnificent sight in the wild!
Great collection of great blues! (I forgot this was an "H" post ;>)....)
All herons look like entirely different birds when they have their necks extended instead of shortened (or whatever that words is I want).
Thanks for collecting and sharing!
A lovely study of herons Carver.
Thank you for this beautiful series of herons . It is such an interesting and beautiful bird. We have a lot of them here in the polder.
Have a great week!

Outstanding images!, We get blue heron from time to time early mornings in our, or next door neighbors yard, and sometimes see them wing there way home at sunset, always a treat to see them.
Look at those legs! They're like upright iron grill. Lovely images.
Wonderful shots. Admiring birds is giving much joy. I am greeting
Herons are not so good for our neighbour who keeps carp in his pond!
That's a beautiful heron!
Hygiene, your comment will be highly appreciated.
Have a great Wednesday

Wonderful collection.
You've captured so many personalities of herons in these photos!
Well, they are good looking birds that seems to like their pictures taken (smile). Thanks for sharing.
That last shot is breathtaking! What a treat to see all these images (we have them here for the winter too).
il est curieux aussi et il se tient d'une élégance
