Your bird for today is...
Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, December 3, 2019
… a Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, in flight. I am amazed at how they can fold their long necks down close to their bodies so that their heads rest between their shoulders!

Have a blessed day!

    Loved seeing the GNU glide over the surface of the water!

    Nice shot Lea. I think that folding their neck down makes them more streamlined for flying.

    As Phil points out it is all to do with aerodynamics.

    ...now this is a low slung one, it's lucky you don't get much snow down there! Heron sure can change their appearance! Thanks lEa for stopping by, enjoy your day.

    The red barn is quite large! Just at the right time, with the horse in view:) Love your capture of the heron, so focused on flying above the water. Many thanks for showing these to All Seasons! Have a beautiful December week, Lea! Jesh
