Shortly after dawn one morning last week, I encountered a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) that seemed to be pensively contemplating the new day. He glanced in my direction as I took a few shots, but remained in place as I continued on my way, both of us lost in our thoughts.

Great shot =)
Thanks so much.
My first thought was that you must have used a tripod in such low light, but maybe not.
Such a beautiful creature…
They look like deep thots!
