Bird Watching: "On the Waterfront" - Part 4, 1 by linthicum

As the seasons continue to evolve, we are nearing the end of winter here in North America. The change in seasons brings out nature's true beauty. Winter has engaged us this time around with the ferocity not seen for quite some time. Birds and animals have had to endure these merciless elements. I bid it farewell. But one thing that never changes is the diversity of bird life found near or on the water. So, as the season changes I look forward to the new visitors. On the other hand, some choose to stay around all year long here in the Mid-Atlantic. One such specie is the Great Blue Heron. They stand still for long periods of time and then suddenly, without warning, they strike. This past weekend I took a few shots of a Great Blue Heron as it engaged its prey. I'll start this new thread with a few of those photos.

If you would like to re-visit some of the other "On the Waterfront" threads, here is a link to the previous one.
