A Big Bird

At the wetland, it was unfortunately cloudy in the morning when we went.  After we spent an hour walking along the country road, a threesome of Great Blue Herons suddenly swooped down from the sky.

They first circled over the wetland a few times right above us.

Then one after another they decided to land in the marsh below.  After walking about, one decided to make a quick hop to another spot.

"Swish."

 

 

And landed onto another spot to find more food.

 

"Just a gentle touching."
