Pick Me!

Great Blue Heron with head upraised.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I watched this Great Blue Heron put on quite a dance on top of a tree yesterday. The surrounding trees also had herons in them, but they weren’t really doing anything. I assume this one was working on getting a date for today. Or maybe he was just watching an airplane. 🤷‍♂️

I took this photo at the rookery near downtown Rockport, Texas. (Nikon Z5, 1/640 sec at f/9.0, ISO 100, 400mm, cropped)
