the "great" escape

[djb]

here's a real lame attempt at getting a picture of a great blue heron. i was out taking my dad for his friday morning drive and passed a brook/marshy area and saw what i thought was trash in the bushes. i realized it was a heron. i parked a ways awya and walked down the street keping an eye on this bird. i zoomed all the way out in preparation but, the heron saw me and started to fly. i had to hobble to a clear spot off the road and point and shoot. i only wish i had a more zoom and better optics and better eyes.
here's what i got.
