Maybe my practice with photographing birds in flight is starting to pay off. I went out for a walk early this morning and had just reached the walkway beside the water when a Great Blue Heron flew by quite close. Frustratingly, I didn't have my camera ready so all I could do was watch it cruise by. But when it got a little way past me, it pulled a u-turn and headed back towards me. I quickly pulled off my lens cap, turned on the camera, and started shooting. The heron was almost too close - I was at the minimum end of my zoom lens and it still filled the frame. Out of a burst of 17 photos, this was my favorite and the first of the series.
