Great Blue Heron

Today I saw a Great Blue Heron land in a tree.
They have always been a species we see frequently every summer. Usually they are flying up from the river; this is the first time i saw one land in a tree, so I turned around and went to the house for the camera. It isn't a perfect picture, but I still want to share it.
a beautiful fallday today with a strong south wind and 85 to 90 degrees. Leaves litter the roof and apron on the North side of the house. Next we'll have to clean the rain gutters. Captured this photo from our house looking west.
