As you might imagine, much time and consideration was given to which photos would be chosen that would best help tell the story of the Great Blue Heron.
Invariably, some images and information had to be excluded. That’s OK. That’s why a blog like this gives this author an opportunity to share these EXTRAS. Enjoy.

A large number of Great Blue Herons have made this group of trees their potential home, with several already having started to build nests there.
Here, a Great Blue Heron has “lifted off” from a rock that sits on the river. Where do you think the bird might be going?
Keeping balance. This photo was taken just after Sunrise and this Great Blue Heron had landed in the branches and opened its wide wings in order to maintain its balance.
