2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Bird/Great Blue Heron, Francis William Bird Park, Walpole, MA, United States
Great Blue Heron hunting at duck pond

Species: Bird/Great Blue Heron | Location: Francis William Bird Park, Walpole, MA, United States

I was out for my morning walk with my dog and decided to go somewhere different this particular morning. I am always searching for beautiful birds to photograph and came upon this Great Blue Heron early in the morning. The Heron was hunting at the edge of the duck pond. They are magnificent creatures and fascinating to watch their slow, methodical hunting skills as they search for food.
