HFF :: Happy Fence Friday
Just a noteworthy Behaviour Observation Shot
Immature
Great Blue Heron GBHE (Ardea Herodias)
YYJ :: Victoria International Airport
(near Sidney, North Saanich BC)
Younger bird foraging in field out near YYJ parking/car rental area
In winter we see many GBHE looking for prey in fields
but not so much in summer - and even less so immature birds
Perhaps this one has had success in this particular field although it did not catch anything while i was watching
DSCN5860 HFF
some Field Mark Cues ^i^
Juveniles/Immatures have a dark crown
Adults will have a visible white cap above the eye along the top of head.
PS
is "Barbed Wire Foreground Reverse Bokeh" a real thing?
;)
