The Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North and Central America as well as the West Indies and the Galápagos Islands. It is a rare vagrant to Europe, with records from Spain, the Azores and England. An all-white population found only in the Caribbean and south Florida was once known as a separate species, the Great White Heron. (wiki)

A wonderful capture of the flying action of this heron. Nice detail and color…that lens did a fine job for you.
I like the compo and DoF in this. I also like how you stopped it dead in its tracks but you can still see movement in the wings and feet. Very nice.
