“Just try to keep up, fat boy!”

Taken on my photo drive this past Monday at the local regional park. I was photographing this pelican when out of the corner of my eye I see the heron taking off from a bit further up the inlet.

I quickly swung my camera and started clicking, grabbing this shot as the pterodactyl-looking heron few by the big-billed pelican.

Both of these birds are common here in Colorado during the summer and provide some great photo opportunities.
