This large bird in the water is hard to miss. I believe it is a Great Blue Heron. This was spotted in the middle of the day on Saturday in the Ashuelot Park in Keene, N.H. It was close to the boat landing, as you can see right in open water.
This Great Blue Heron just stood in the shallow water, by itself, occasionally shaking the mud off it's lower leg ever so gingerly. It seemed to be hunting for fish in the shallow waters. I was amazed as there were plenty of people around going about their business and making all kinds of noises.
These large birds make a great focal point no matter what the setting they are found in. They just stop me in my tracks. In addition, for their size they seem so graceful.
