Blue Heron, Okanagan River Channel, Canada
Blue Heron in Flight

Species: Blue Heron | Location: Okanagan River Channel, Canada

By Dorian (Woods) Poloway

Standing on the Okanagan River Dam walkway, I spotted a Blue Heron blending in with the rocks. It had found a small pool of water where he could catch some fish. I stood and watched this beautiful amazing bird for at least 30 min. when suddenly he took flight. I was very fortunate to capture this moment.
