Species: Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) | Location: Kentlands Lake, Gaithersburg, MD, United States of America
The first snow of the year requires any wildlife photographer to walk about and capture the animals frolicking about in the snow. This Great Blue Heron was not that happy with the situation. It was sitting in our local neighborhood pond and looking quite dissatisfied with the onset of winter. I looked at him and he looked at me, turned his head away and click, I had my image.
About The Photographer
I’ve been focusing my photography on nature and wildlife since 2014, focusing on habitats local to the Washington D.C. and Mid-Atlantic area. An additional interest is in using photography to get rescue dogs in the DC area adopted quicker, whether that is by putting their photos on social media or by providing photography services to the rescue organizations for them to use as a fundraiser.
