Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) This large heron was at the edge of a lakeside. It was so still as we approached that we were almost convinced that it was a stuffed bird or a statue. Unfortunately, I only had my macro lens with me, so I could not get the best shot. Ardea herodias,Geotagged,Great blue heron,Summer,United States Click/tap to enlarge
