All of the photographs in the new book are ones I took in my journey following the Great Blue Heron over 25 years of so.
Except one. It is a photo taken by a camera mounted on a tree adjacent to a Great Blue Heron nest, showing an adult bird keeping watch over unhatched eggs. I located the image on a website run by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
To seek permission to republish this image, I wrote to a contact at Cornell. After doing some research, they informed me that the image came from one of their BIRD CAMS—an initiative in which cameras are mounted near many different kinds of bird nests.
So in order for me to use their image, I must secure their permission. And getting permission is not always easy or fast. We are patient and we are hopeful we can use this image in our book.
Stand by for more news.
