This Great Blue Heron is about to land and is showing every feather he owns. I was in a tower shooting birds in flight when this guy came straight at me. This was at daybreak and the light was perfect.

You’re right about the GBH – every feather is detailed and sharp. I love all the colors in the bird, too. Perhaps some breeding colors in there?
