This Canada Goose stands on one foot with beak tucked under its wings, while it rests in the shallow water.
Great Blue Heron in a Tree
While photographing a tree on an island in the James River, I realized there was a Great Blue Heron perched on one of the branches. Â Pleased the heron was close enough for some zoomed in shots, I took several pictures before it flew away. Â This was my favorite picture of the bunch.
Like all the other pictures on my blog, you can click on this one to see a larger version of the image.
Great Blue Heron
Here’s another picture of the great blue heron I spotted in a river near Damascus, VA. Â In case you missed the first photo, you can see it here: https://blog.dougcouvillion.com/2012/07/25/great-blue-heron-taking-flight. The earlier photo was under exposed to account for the brightness of the river. Â In this photo I increased the exposure to capture more detail of the heron and manually compensated for the glare on the river by editing the image later.
