This Great Blue Heron was standing on the metal dock at the Charleston City Lake here in Arkansas. I come to this lake to photograph Bald Eagles but I see lots of different birds.
I was in the parking lot photographing this bird with my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
