I think there is nothing more grand and elegant than a great blue heron standing in the water

Or taking off

or flying

Or landing

Two young chicks

Great White Egret

Herons - Night and Great Blue, Nest building and raising the next generation.

Black Crowned Night Heron -  beautiful reddish eyes

More nest building and raising baby great blue herons

These guys are so graceful with their takeoffs and landings. Quiet and effortless
