Usually I see Great Blue Herons at some distance standing in majestic settings and without any movement.



So it was a surprise to find one standing in a parking lot puddle:

It allowed me to take 3 photographs before winging away.



Other birds:









I have visited the eastern part of Humber Bay many times and in all seasons of the year.

Today I visited the western part which has many fine vistas but fewer varied habitats to attract birds.












Some botany:

Nice vistas. Nice flowers, plants and birds. I hope that poor Heron wasn’t expecting to find a frog in that puddle–it sure would be a long wait. Thanks, Miles!
Hi Miles
Thank you again for enriching my life with your daily posts. One of the blessings of these strange times for me has been the opportunity to reconnect with nature.
I have enjoyed your photos and wondering what camera you would recommend for taking photos of birds?
Thank you
Jean Gairdner
