Little Blue Heron

[Glenn Bartley]

It was literally 5 minutes after I showed up at Estero Llano Grande State Park that the opportunity to photograph this beautiful heron presented itself. It was a nice start to what would be a very productive 3 days of photographing birds :)

For anyone interested I just did a massive web update with some of the images I captured in Texas.
