A Heron in the reed beds at Minsmere. We could hear Bittern booming occasionally but weren’t lucky enough to see them this time.

A heron in the shallows of the duck pond in Kelvingrove Park in the West End of Glasgow.

Just your typical suburban back yard great blue #heron I was a bit envious of these people whose home backs to a nature preserve with a small pond. 13-APR-2025 Herndon, Virginia, USA. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

White faced Heron.

This Yellow-crowned Night Heron was wide awake when I saw it early one morning. Perhaps it was watching the baby alligator below. Interestingly enough, I saw several alligators on this day in Alligator Lake along the Alligator Trail. I wonder how they came up with those names. :-)

A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) along the shores of the Capilano River in North Vancouver, British Columbia. I made this photo quite a long time ago and was experimenting with shutter speeds. The slows shutter speed won in that contest. Herons are one of the few birds that would have been still long enough for me to pull this off!
