Great Blue Herons - Flight Shots

I was out this past weekend photographing waterfowl when I flushed a Great Blue. There are still a few trying to overwinter here despite the ice and snow. It reminded me of these photos from last Fall when I was shooting shorebirds only to be surprised by herons flying in to feed on the remaining fish in the ponds before the Yellowlegs cleaned them up.  They lost interest when they saw me.  It's likely the bird I saw on the weekend was a juvenile like the one in the top photo.
