Skip, Great shot of the Great Blue. It really shows off his blue plumage. I especially like the way the light is catching the bottom of his bill and neck.

Temp was 74 degrees. The warm day brought out the old Great Blue Heron. I was able to get a fairly good picture although he was in the shade at late afternoon. He is a resident bird, as I have seen him almost everytime I visit my country club lake. Had a Great Egret and a Red Tailed Hawk spotted but could not get close enough to take a decent picture. I know you guys are looking forward to spring.
