I took this photo a few weeks ago on a cold, blustery day. When I got to the river the heron was standing on a log in the river. It stood there for almost 2 hours before it finally moved. When a gust of wind blew through, I was able to get a few photos of its ruffled feathers.

It’s lovely you caught her in her formal wearđŸ’•
Glorious shot.
Beautiful photo!
. . . but, you waited for 2 hrs to get it?
Beautiful photo Maralee, this breeding plumage adornment makes them very attractive.
Lovely capture, Maralee and just amazing how long they can stay in one spot!
