Fluidr / Complexities of Courtship by PeterBrannon

Great Blue Heron ~ (Ardea herodias)

Two Great Blue Herons engage in a courtship display. Their feathers puffed out and heads bobbing up and down make for a striking and animated scene. Watching these large birds interact with one another in a mix of energy and tenderness is a wondrous thing.

Thanks for visiting!
