A close-up, vertical photo of a Great Blue Heron standing still in shallow, brownish water. The bird has a blue-grey back and white to pale-tan chest feathers, with a distinctive white head and black markings above the eye. Its long beak is a pale yellow-orange. The sunlight highlights its feathers and casts a clear reflection of its body in the gently rippling water, with dark green foliage visible in the soft-focus background.
