A great blue heron takes flight across a pond at one of my favorite nature areas in Longmont, Colorado.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron takes flight across a pond at one of my favorite nature areas in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron is captured mid-liftoff; its beak slightly open, wings raised, and long legs trailing beneath it as it springs into the air. I was anticipating the moment. The heron had been perched on the far-right log in the cattails beside a walking path. I noticed people approaching: first a fisherman who paused, then a woman walking her two small dogs. Right on cue, as they drew close enough, the heron launched into flight. I thanked the woman and showed her the photograph. The scene is a medium view of the pond, where soft reflections of clouds and patches of blue sky ripple across the water's surface. In the lower right, a weathered log emerges from newly growing cattails, angling leftward, with a small branch reaching toward—but not quite touching-the water. Both the log and branch are mirrored in the pond. Another log rises from the cattails at the far right, while a few delicate twigs break the surface near the upper center of the frame. The image captures both the raw power and the quiet beauty of the moment.

A close-up of a great blue heron preening at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

Photo by Kort Duce A close-up of a great blue heron preening at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, a heron’s head and neck fill the frame in right profile as it bends its head straight down to preen its neck feathers. The bird’s multicolored neck feathers part where the tip of its beak penetrates the upper layer of plumage. Its eye remains open as it concentrates intently on the task. The background is a brilliant blue sky, characteristic of Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine each year. A beautiful portrait of a great blue heron engaged in the meticulous ritual of preening, an essential part of maintaining its plumage and well-being in the wetland habitat it depends upon.

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Heron&Egrets. The alt is #Borbs, especially round or plump bird.

A great blue heron spears a meal. Notice the wingtip in the water balancing the left foot coming up as he lunges.

#Birds #birding #ECK

A large blue and gray bird in shallow water lunges forward to grab a small fish. The bird’s wings are extended for balance. The bird is reflected in the still water. Behind it are rocks and wild grasses.

A Great Blue finally snatches a near threatened Pacific lamprey.

Distant color image of a large blue-grey feathery bird that has snatched an eel-like lunch. The Great Blue heron stands in shallow seaweed with a grey-colored Pacific lamprey dangling from its yellow pointed beak. The lamprey is a near threatened eel-like fish that has existed for 450 million years. Today Oregon's Yakima Nation works to save this sacred fish that has been severely compromised by human industrial intrusion.

Another (infrequent) foray into #BirdOfTheDay with #Herons&Egrets; not the best photo I've ever taken, but I remember being very struck by this gray #heron in a pond in the Vienna woods at the time. #birds #birdphotography #nature #ornithology #bird

A gray heron (Ardea cinerea) perched on a submerged log in a pond in the woods outside Vienna; the reflection of the woods in the water made the entire pond look a deep green color.

I also got this shot of him plucking out a feather and throwing it away!

I’ll go with this #heron stalking in the sun…
