Great Blue Heron: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 \u2014 I waited on the marsh observation deck for a good 45 minutes for this Great Blue Heron, who I had spotted while still way out, to work its way down the back edge of the marsh toward me. I had a deer (photos posted a few days ago) to entertain me for a few moments while I waited, but mostly I just sat in the autumn sun and listened to the marsh and the wind in the bare trees of the wet Maple forest behind me. Eventually the Heron got as close to the deck as it was going to and began to work its way around\u2026I took my \u201ckeeper\u201d photos\u2026I had taken lots of shots, of course, as it approached, but I did not even bother to process most of those\u2026why would I once the Heron had given me the shots I wanted all along. \ud83d\ude42 OM Systems OM-1 with the ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
