Great Blue Surprised

I was just as surprised to see this Great Blue Heron as he was to see me. Last Sunday was my first day back on the water. I came across this guy after only ten minutes on Carmans River. I hope that’s a good sign for the season. I was on the Carmans a total of three times this past week. It’s great being back on the water. I’ll post more shots soon. JK

  1. Thanks Mr. Fitz. Thanks Kelly. This shot was mostly luck. I was exploring a small stream off the main part of the river when I went around a bend and – boom – this guy was preening himself only eight feet away. He looked up as I started shooting. As for the angle, well, he stands taller than I do sitting in my kayak. The Blues have have those great big golden eyes that are such a pleasure to capture in full daylight. They seem to fill up with the sun. JK
