_DSC0298 Wintering Great Blue Heron

Taken from a parking lot a short distance from our home, the open water is from the agitator that keeps it form freezing around a dock. The white behind it is ice on the surface of Lake Decatur. It was actually a surprise to find this as I downloaded my camera. The heron had flown out unexpectedly and while I got several shots, I didn't anticipate a keeper. This turned out much better than I dared hope for. Of those I've taken, I think it's one of my favorite GBH shots ever.
