I pass by the pond at Rock Valley College in Loves Park, Illinois many times a day. Usually, there’s just the usual population of Canadian Geese, some Mallard Ducks, and a pair of Mute Swans. Yesterday I caught sight of this Great Blue Heron wading along waters edge.
Luckily, I had my cameras with me and was able to stop and make a few photos. I didn’t stay long though. It was bitter cold outside, the Heron was a little uneasy that I was there, and the Canadian Geese who are either nesting or preparing to nest was hissing at me.
