Description
I've been trying to photograph this particular Great Blue Heron over the summer at this particular wetland here in Lubec, Maine. This heron takes immediate flight if it even senses my presence.
My patience finally paid off the other morning. Not long after sunrise I was able to softly approach and view the heron through trees that hid me well.
I carefully set my tripod and camera. Each time the heron looked in my direction I froze.
Focusing manually thru the branches and grasses was tricky.
I had the advantage this time as the heron continued stalking small fish for breakfast unaware of my presence.
It's always a pleasure viewing any wildlife especially when they are absorbed in their surroundings and exhibiting normal behavior.
