I am still going through images from our visit to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge which is 12 miles south of Cambridge, Maryland. The images here are of a Great Blue Heron roosting in a tree along the Wildlife Drive. It seemed like it liked posing for me so I had a lot of poses to choose from. Here are a few from the series of images of the Great Blue Heron. On a few I removed a tree branch here or there. was trying to see which I liked better. All images were taken with a Canon 7D with a 300mm lens with a 1.4X Teleconverter.
Great captures and the last shot of your conversation with the heron is realy top 🙂
Thanks so much! Great Blue Herons are fun photo subjects! They can show some attitude!
Beautiful series, they are quite majestic up in a tree! Your last shot and caption made me laugh!!!
Thanks Donna! I am glad you got a chuckle out of the last image!
He put on a nice little show for you, Reed. Nice collection of poses. “That’s all, Dude!”
Thanks so much Steve! I was surprised it stayed so long! I took quite a few other images of this Great Blue, but decided I had enough choices for the blog & I moved on. But there again I was pretty far away from the Heron so I do not think I was bothering it!
