Great Blue Heron

As a rule of thumb you try to get as close as you can to a bird in order to get the best shot, but this Great Blue Heron I encountered Wednesday was so close that I had to keep backing up in order to fit him in the frame.

Usually I’ll crop shots to use on the web since they’re being presented at reduced size, but i didn’t need to crop any of these:
