OTD last year: A very unhappy great blue heron. I remain kind of amazed that they endure our New England winters.

Hands down this is the best Great Blue Heron wingspread I have ever taken. This bird surprised me being at this location. It surprised me more when it opened its wings taking in the sunrise light very early in the morning.
