I was thrilled Sunday afternoon when the hubs said we had time for a ride to
Lake of the Lillies
The hubs spotted him...a Great Blue Heron hiding in the grasses, I knew he was fishing.

The Great Blue Heron is a huge heron, with long legs, a long neck and a long dagger like bill.
It was clear by it's body language that it saw us, I thought it would fly off, but it didn't.
It must have been a good fishing spot!

Score...
it's tiny but the heron seems satisfied with the catch!
The fish looks bigger in it's throat then it did in it's mouth.
This is one of my favorite big birds, but quite honesty, I say that about all the birds!

Hello Debbie,

Wow! Such great pics! So glad you were able to get out and see this!
Praying life settles down for you soon........y’all have been through a lot lately.....
I love the way that heron walks so deliberately through the water after its prey. Fabulous photos.
Awesome pictures, Debbie.
Great pictures Debbie!
Just awesome! Reminds me of someone!
That's a lovely series of shots. They're great fisher birds.
It looks like it was a beautiful day for a ride to the lake. You got some fantastic shots!
Score for the GBH *and* for you too...wonderful photo series...the patience as he waits and watches and the quick dart to catch...and the big meal reward ! Love this.
Oh how nice of him to stick around so that you could get some good pics of him. That was a good fishing spot, love that you caught him bringing it out of the water, hubs has good eyes to spot them for you, it was a good day out, getting to see one of your favorite birds ;)
Beautiful photos! Love watching these lanky birds catch fish (and other prey)!
Great photographs ...
All the best Jan
