Feathered Friends-Great Blue Heron

Along with everything else that is happening, the weather is not being kind to us. It is a dark and gloomy day and they are saying we could get 2 inches of rain, which may cause some flooding.

Since I am not out taking photos, I looked through my archives to see what I could find to share for a #featheredfriends post and came up with a selection of heron photos.

Great Blue Herons appear blue-gray and have a wide black stripe over their eye.

Order: Pelecaniformes Family:Ardeidae

They often stand motionless as they scan for prey. They may wade through the water and move slowly, but Great Blue Herons, using their dagger like bills, can strike like lightning to grab a fish.

Great captures @melinda010100 .
We have these around the bay year round. Really cool to watch them fish the shallows.

They leave here when the weather gets cold. I agree... They are fun to watch.

Oooh How I love the first photo !
This is great to have archives of useful shots indeed,
I'm also glad to find a lot of photos previously taken now that I can not go out very far from my home 😉

Thanks! There are so many things changing all at once! Stay healthy.

Good Pictures

Love these shots, Melinda:)

Thanks so much! 😘

Wow, I didn't see heron yet.

They are pretty common here around lakes and swamps.

Turtle and Heron. What an amazing moment captured.
Take care and keep safe.

Thanks! It did make me wonder if Herons eat turtles!

Great photos Melinda! Those birds are so amazing, I love watching them at our ponds.

Thanks! They are fun to watch.

he's a real beauty!

Thanks! That first photo is a favorite of mine!

Lovely Heron shots Lady Melinda.
Blessings!

What nice crisp photos @melinda010100, cool birds, love the turtle.

Such beautiful birds! Lovely photos as always!

Thanks! You are the king of heron photos!

Aw shucks... I'll take that, coming from the queen! :-)
