Great Blue Heron Fishing in Winter
A solitary Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) fishing in a salt marsh in winter. Initially I didn't see it standing in the tall grass. As I was heading out of the marsh, the Great Blue started croaking letting me know it was there. I went back and got a few shots.
All four Osprey nests I watch now have three chicks each. In this photo, one of the chicks sits next to the mother Osprey. The other two chicks are down inside the nest. This is the first year I've seen this Osprey platform occupied. There are now two Osprey nests at this location.
