Waiting for Breakfast
There were several Great Blue Heron nests nearby, on a small island in a small lake, in the Clear Creek Greenbelt, Wheatridge, Colorado. Those nests (and numerous Cormorant nests) have been there every year I have visited the area during the last six years.
I find it amazing that such small lakes/ponds can support so many large "fishing" birds. It's also amazing to me that many birds rest while standing on one leg.
