Great Blue Heron – Ardea herodias     Atlanta, GA – Peachtree Park – December 1, 2015

It’s always a surprise and a great treat when he comes to our little pond.    Sibley says Great Blue Herons stand mostly still while they are foraging.  This adult bird was exhibiting that behavior.  Time to buy some more fish.

When he leaves, it’s fascinating to watch.  It’s a really skilled thing to navigate through all of the tree limbs in such a compact space.
