Great Blue Heron - Bird Photography - M. C. Kinney Photography - Appleton Photographers

Yesterday the weather was pretty dreary, cloudy, rainy early in the morning, and damp. When I finally made it out to look for some birds, I only found one Snowy Owl deep into a field in Freedom (too far away to get anything but a speck on the images taken) so instead I thought I'd share something from the summer; when the weather was warmer and the sky was blue!

This Blue Heron was going deep for his breakfast in early August of 2014. The sunny sky and colorful reflections off the water really add to the beauty of that day.

Later it had caught a small minnow sized meal that seemed to be in shock that he'd been caught.

 And on the lookout for some more! Enjoy these summer images!
