I photographed this Great Blue Heron with a shad at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. This was in February 2012. I am not seeing many of these birds this winter like I normally do. Maybe they are in the backwater areas and far from the auto tour road.

I parked on the side of the auto tour road. This Heron was on the south side of the road across from Tuff pond (Arkansas River). I had my camera and lens resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
