juvenile Great Blue Heron

This juvenile Great Blue Heron, seen in the photo to the right, could well be my last Heron sighting this fall as the season is now getting late. I think this most recent photo of Oct. 23 creates an interesting seasonal balance with the first Heron photo of the year that I had taken in April. In this early spring photo the Heron is flying across a drab spring landscape and in this most recent October picture the landscape is again returning to that of dormancy.
