Stick Collecting - Triptych - a photo on Flickriver

"Stick Collecting - Triptych" by Patti Deters. Every spring, Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias) spend much of their time searching and collecting sticks, as is shown in this triptych of three photographs of the same bird. When the heron finds a good stick for nest building, he pounces into the water with a big splash, then is off to deliver the prize to partner who is back at the nest putting everything into perfect shape. Digital painting and texture techniques have been applied for artistic effect. Each of the images in this triptych collage are also available individually at the links below.
