Description
Ok, for all I know this is a female, but I couldn’t help but think of Alfalfa from the Little Rascals when I saw this great blue heron striking this pose atop a large digger pine tree. I captured this image from the seat of my kayak in Baum Lake in Shasta County, California, USA. There are two of the large digger pines close to each other on the shore that serve as a heron rookery. I counted about a dozen nests in the two trees and on this February afternoon there was quite a bit of activity as the big birds got ready to raise the next generation, including a few scenes of (ahem) afternoon delight taking place (if this pine’s a-rockin’ don’t bother knockin’).
