This Great Blue Heron had been staring and approaching a Canada Goose Family for about 50 yards when all of a sudden the adult goose reared up chest out flapping its wings at the heron. That did the trick the heron retreated rather quickly in behind the spruce trees and started grooming himself. The heron appears to be all alone here so I am not sure if the mate has perished.

An epic shot of this Heron with the wings spread and the neck stretched out. Great action to detail and color in this amazing action shot. Awesome!
Super action shot with a nice story that explain it. Perfect sunlight on the scene. I love the beautyful pose of the wings and the legs running in action.. Great that you caught the bird out of balance. I am sure that without the open wings he would fall down. Hope you had fun doing the shot.
Perfect timing on this shot, Debra. The wing detail is beautiful and I like the graceful pose he kept even while retreating from an angry gander. Love the image and the story behind it.
Great photo! Love the action shot...and the story, Debra.
