Let’s walk with a Great Blue Heron along the shore of Lake Nosbonsing. He(?) was looking for breakfast.
This guy was very patient with me.
What remarkable birds they are.
Who Am I?
I am a grey haired wrinkler who lives in the North of Ontario in God's Country. I get to look around me and take interest in things that I was always too busy to stop and investigate. I make a lot of photographs of some of them. Prints of any photograph published on photodyssey are available.Post Dates

photodyssey · Photographs from My World
photodyssey 
Nice Heron study. I like photos 9, 10, 11 and 12 where the Heron looks like it’s watching something float by. It was nice of this fowl to ‘pose’ for you, they’re quite skittish and don’t hang around. Are you the “Heron Whisperer”?
Thanks for the new title John, but I think I’ll let someone with true “whispering” talent take it. I was in my kayak on a very quiet morning and was able to just drift along with minimum motion. In 9 – 12, he’s trying to decide what I am and whether I’m worth worrying about as he cocks his head to get better views. They are indeed jumpy. Somehow this guy put up with me for a much longer period of time than any others I’ve encountered this summer.
