16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
great blue heron perched and hunting

ive absolutely fallen in love with these birds lately, there is a grace and such a control they have on every movement when hunting in particular, this one was perched mid afternoon in his deadwood "fortress", i particularly loved the texture of the deadwood in this shot
