Description Finally spotted a Great Blue Heron at Colonial Park for the first time this year (aside from the occasional fly-by). I found a great tree to hide/rest behind to observe him. Unfortunately, he was frightened by a noise on the nearby golf course, so this encounter did not last long.

Beautiful bird and great shot! I love how the patches of light highlight the head and neck.
