Graceful Great Blue

We spotted this Great Blue at the Isenberg Sandhill Crane Reserve. He was taking a quick break from hunting for food. Once a rare sight in the northeast US due to hunting pressure and pollution, great blue herons have staged a staggering comeback in the past few decades. We are always excited to see the Great Blue as it is such a big bird with beautiful blue plumage and graceful movements.
