Field Notes

Description:

Grey-blue heron common in the Pacific Northwest. Tall bird on long legs.

Habitat:

Lakeshore park

Notes:

This guy was fishing. It would slowly walk in the shawls with his long legs. Then he would pause and wait, and we saw it once drawback it's neck ready to strike. Didn't strike and didn't catch anything that we saw, but we got bored faster then him.
