Great Blue Heron: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 — I photographed this Great Blue Heron, hunting the rapids on the Mousam River, a few weeks ago and posted lots of images already. That was a rainy, overcast day. I went back recently on a sunny day, to check for Eagles again, and that same GBH was still there, perched on the snag where I first saw it, taking in the sun and preening. I kind of hoped it would get down in the water and hunt some more so I could get some action shots, and I waited around for quite a while, but my patience has limits and generally I am the kind of photographer who takes the photo ops as they come. These sunny shots of various Herony poses will have to do. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
