Blue Heron Flight 4
This Great Blue Heron was perching high on a breakwater separating Jericho Beach from the World War II wharf to its west. When it decided to change its position to the shore, it hopped from its perch with its legs vertical and then slowly raised them to horizontal as it began to beat its wings. This sequence of 7 photos shows the progression of its position in flight. May 14, 2009.
