Heron at the Pond

A heron, looking very big with his fluffed up feathers, was waiting patiently for some dinner this afternoon.  He was out looking for lunch earlier today and by the time I gathered the camera gear, got the tripod set up and put my coat on, he had flown away. Luckily he came back and I was at home to see him. The lighting was better at 3:30 p.m. than it was at 11:00 a.m. anyway. So glad I was able to catch him. I wonder if he caught himself anything to eat.
