A Winter GBH! While taking photos of a Great Blue Heron (GBH) from our deck I turned around to walk back into the house and saw this fellow. He seemed completely at ease as I walked closer and closer till I actually couldn’t get any closer because of the deck railing.

      Thank you, Ernst. I was lucky enough to get close and also able to use the deck railing as a support for the camera. Posted 6 years ago
