Great Blue Herons, February 21, 2015

January 2015, Tennessee River
Great Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron, Hardin county, Tennessee, USA


Great Blue Herons like to swallow their food whole, but that can be a problem!  I don't know if this one was successful or not. I was quite a distance away, using my zoom lens at its limit, and lost sight of it. They really blend in with the grey rocks.


Have a wonderful week-end!

  12. I would say his eyes are bigger than his tummy but sounds as if he managed to down it in one! Great photos.
