Great Blue Heron
A great blue heron taking to the air; look at this in the largest size to see the detail in the feathers and head. Photographed at Shark Valley in the Florida Everglades. For those of you who like to shoot birds, the Everglades is paradise. We spent ten days floating down the Amazon a year or so ago. It was a terrific trip, mainly because we visited native villages and got to learn a lot about the culture. However, in terms of wildlife, it does not even hold a candle to the Everglades. I spent our week there in a state of perpetual excitement. I could have spent a month there and not tired of photographing the birds. Lots of alligators, too, for those who like reptiles. Anyway, I'm posting this a bit early so that I can get to bed at a decent hour. Hope your Sunday is really fine. I'm going to my grandson's birthday party where he will be floating in space...hope to get some photos of it. Also, thanks for all the nice comments on the turkey vulture shot. I have to admit that I found them to be fascinating birds.
