Great Blue Heron | Scouting This Great Blue Heron paid no attention to me, about 30 yards away, as I walked along one of my favorite walkabouts. He was just too busy with the task at hand, scouting for fish. The click was relatively easy; just focus, keep an eye on the subject, and wait for the right pose. It’s too far away from the water to actually be fishing. Maybe later! See Great Blue Heron | a 7 Image Story for the whole story.
