Great Blue Heron against the blue Colorado sky

For those of you along the Colorado Front Range, you know full well this image wasn’t taken today as we are getting a late season snowstorm as I type this. 😉 The image was captured a couple weekends ago along the South Platte River north of Denver.

This cool, prehistoric looking bird had landed along the banks of the river right near me. However, the second it realized I was there, it took flight but, thankfully, did so in a direction that allowed me a nice series of flight shots.
