A great blue heron in flight, head and extended neck in frame. It is carrying a stick in its bill and it on its way to the nest where the stick will be offered to the female for placement in nest construction.

Love is in the air. A great blue heron about to pose that iconic question: Will you accept this stick. (She said "yes.")
