Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) Quadra Island, BC

Taken in the final light of an amazing Sept sunset on the last night of clear skies before the smoke moved in. This heron was at this spot in the day as well, but was much more photogenic in the evening. Using the bull kelp as its hunting grounds, it was 'hopping' from area to area following the fish this evening.
