Great Blue Heron

Spotted this one in the marsh that is right across from the old Burger King site on Union Avenue in Laconia.

Nice capture. It looks like the heron caught a pumpkinseed!

For a big bird, it's beautiful and graceful.

Spotted this one at Lee's Mill in Moultonboro when I went over to the Loon Center to see Ben Kilham's talk on Black Bears.

Taken at the long end of my 75-300 lens, so it's a little fuzzy. I think I shot 40 pictures, it's amazing how absolutely still these birds can stand when they are hunting.
