The Statuesque Great Blue

The National Audubon Society's website aptly describes the Great Blue Heron as "statuesque." They do have a habit of standing quite still for long periods of time watching what is going on around them. This Great Blue ignored the two cormorants nearby, but kept a wary eye on what I was doing as I photographed it.

The herons generally get a bit skittish when people approach. When this one decided I was getting too close for comfort, it flew off upstream:









This set of photographs was taken at the riffle between the VFW Blvd trailhead and the VFW Blvd bridge on the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River on Thursday, December 19, 2013.
