I’ve seen quite a few Great Blue Herons this winter by the salt marshes on Cape Cod. This one was hidden in the grasses on the Salt Pond Trail in Eastham on the National Seashore. I saw him as he stood up tall hunting for lunch in the creek.

The Great Blue Heron is still my favorite bird. He is so beautiful and majestic, especially in the summer when all his plumage is on display!
