I went for a walk at 6:30 this morning and the river had a nice mist rising off of it in the pre-dawn light. A great blue heron was perched like an undertaker on the far bank of the river. It stayed in place in the thick mist coming off the water, which made it difficult to get a clear photo. Then the mist thinned out for a few seconds, giving me enough time to get a fairly clear view of the heron before it noticed me and flew off. I’ve been trying to photograph the herons for a couple of years, but they are very skittish and usually fly before I have a clear field of view.
