Theme for seaphotography contest hosted by @marc-allaria,
SEA and ANIMALS
One of my favorite birds to photograph is the Great Blue Heron.
The heron stands with legs apart as he watches in the shallow end of the water hoping to catch his dinner.
The heron is down to serious business now as he patrols the water.
Resting in the grass by the side of the water after catching fish for dinner.
I often see him near the Montague River when walking on the trail beside it. The Montague River is salt water from the Atlantic Ocean.
The Great Blue Heron usually migrates South to warmer waters for the winter and returns to P.E. I. in the spring. They have been known to stay around all year if there is open water but I haven’t seen any here in the winter.

I just love these photos of the Great Blue Heron that you captured Jo!! The colors of the water are beautiful as well! That second photo looks like the Heron is in deep thought..lol. Terrific catches!! 💞
Thanks Dee and for your kin’s support. I happy you like the photos. We both had the great blue heron in our posts lately.
We are starting to have more sunny days but it’s been a cold spring, I hope you are keeping well. ♥️
You're very welcome Jo! Universal thought and that "great minds" phenomena ..lol. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 💞

Hi Hannes. The Great Blue Heron will take off when they see you but this one was not as afraid.
Hope you are not working too hard and enjoying some outdoor time.
Thanks for reblog and everything, dear Hannes. 🤗
It’s a beautiful day here today but nights are still much cooler.
Hi Jo,
this one must be used of people or he knows that he will be able to escape very fast anyway if needed 😉
There's always a lot to do, but I try to slow down a bit 😎
You know that it's always a pleasure to me, dear Jo, and I hope you're having a great week 😊🌞

He looks super busy while balancing the natural cycle and doing his job. These types of photos are the starter of my Hiving day. Thank you @redheadpei 😊
Most welcome @coinfactor. Thanks for your support. 😊
My pleasure 🙂
Sea water inlets up rivers normally a great place for fish to breed their young, perhaps you Heron is well aware of his food source when to arrive to enjoy when plentiful!
Graceful big birds do make photography exciting Jo!
Thanks so much Joan @joanstewart. Yes I often see the heron in the bays and inlets. It always great to see them back here. Soon the hummingbirds will arrive. 😊
Birds make us very much more aware of seasonal change, condition of water, have fun walks and keep sharing amazing sights.
what a beautiful scene of blue heron, I like its steps above gentle calming waves.
I like all birds with long legs
Thanks! Have a great day.
it's fantastic to take shadow photo of blue heron on waves, I like photography at night and midday, this is my favorite moments
Thanks for your support. Have a great day!
