Although I've had a glimpse of these stately birds a couple of times in the past week, today was the first time this spring I saw a great blue up close. I spied one foraging along the shore's edge ahead of me and moved closer to get a good shot - when I noticed there were two birds searching in the shallows for food. The top shot shows how close to the trail they were, while the lower shot shows one just after it caught a minnow, which can be seen in its beak (if you look closely). I do wonder where in the area these birds nest.
