Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
Temps: Hi 90F (32C) / LO 80F (27C)
moved flew into the neighboring pad today! I promised myself that I would not take any more Great Blue Heron photos while we’re here, but I couldn’t resist when it started putting on a show ;-)
This GBH is a frequent-visitor at our pond. Recently, it has taken to flying into the site next door, which has been empty for two weeks. It seems to like perching on the windbreak in the BBQ area, probably because the wall provides a high vantage point from which to scrutinize the fish-action in the pond. It’s quite habituated, and if you approach slowly, you can get quite close without scaring it off. I opted to leave it in peace to groom itself after a sudden downpour, and used my Canon SX50 for zoom captures from the edge of our pad!

Now if only the Snowy Egret would be as cooperative!
It's hard to pass up such a willing subject.
ReplyDeleteBoy are those fabulous pictures. What a neighbor to sit and watch from the comfort of your lounge chair.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. That GBH is gorgeous. Don't you worry your pretty little head about posting photos. You just keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the too many photos but...!!! Haha! Beautiful photos of the GBH. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are unbelievably great. Wish my camera could do that well. Or maybe it's the person operating it.
ReplyDeleteThose photos are to die for! And she put on such a show for you, how could you resist?
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Florida, we had a GBH who would eat raw hamburger out of my neighbor's hand.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Erin. One of the GBH photos looks like it's twirling a skirt.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean by not taking any more pictures of the GBH, but sometimes they do put on a good show. Love your photography!
