I was thrilled on Tuesday to capture this image of a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) as it flew by me, low over the waters off of Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. I love the way that the heron was stretched out, almost as straight as an arrow in flight.

What a fabulous shot. I love seeing the great blue herons at our local pond but I have to admit I have very litte success photographing them. Have a great weekend Mike!
Beautiful capture, Mike.
Great capture, Mike. He sure had good form!
