Little Blue Heron

This Little Blue Heron was sitting watching for a meal to swim by. This was taken at Anhinga Trail in the Everglades National Park. The bird was sitting about 15 feet from the walk - I was on my belly so I could get on the same level as the heron. The birds here are somewhat accustomed to humans.

Exposure: 1/20 sec at F9 with flash (set to slow-sync)
