1808_0573 Great Blue Heron

            A Great Blue Heron drops to the water to land after banking into a turn. There was lots of heron action on the beach that day. I actually preferred the next two frames for body position, as the legs stretched out and the neck arched back, but the sun was high and those huge wings cast black shadows across the lower body. This looks better. In wildlife photography, sometimes all you can do is fire a burst and hope it works out.
