At least I think this is a Great blue. Is this a female? TIA -Kin Click the image for an enlarged view.

We have a lot of these beautiful birds down here in Florida!

That Heron photo is really awesome with the reflection in the water! cpartschick Gladwin, MI (Zone 5a) June 2, 2008 7:46 AM Post #5039858 Great shot! Ours are very shy, took me years to get a picture half that good! Yes, be sure to watch them. They are great at fishing.
