Lucky you!!!But I don't mean that literally! There's much more that went into capturing these than luck.
The reason I say it is because we have a Blue Heron that shows up once in a while, but I have yet to even see it. A Blue Heron, an Osprey, and a Fox are on my photography wish list - all of which are around here locally.
We are lucky to have a good number of them here, and a few even stay year around. This particular guy lives a solitary life, and has claimed a particular pond as his. He chases off any other Great Blue Heron who land at "his" pond. I make it a point to look for this fellow every time I am in the area. I know his favorite places to hang out. It's pretty cool.
