A portrait that's a little different from the norm. I was walking along one of the dikes/trails at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida when this Great Blue Heron raised it head up to see what was nearby. I got down to level and square to the bird and got a couple frames before the head retreated back into the grass. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
