A Great Blue Heron and a Brace of Ducks...


This morning was so beautiful (as was/is the rest of the day. I had to work for just a few hours in the afternoon and evening and really didn't feel like going in. To wash away the "work blues" I rode my bike over to Bird Island Pier to take a few photos. If you are reading this post from another area of the world, I have to describe this "pier" to you. It's a break-wall more than a pier really, and it just out into Lake Erie. And if you hop the railing and continue walking out to where you are not supposed to (as I did this morning) it goes out even further (a total of two miles I am told) to the intersection of Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Buffalo Harbor, and the Black Rock Channel (click here to see the map). It really is quite breathtaking when your out there. Anyhow, along the way I saw so many ducks, but also the great blue heron that is pictured. It would only let me get a hundred feet from it before it would fly away. But I did manage to get a few shots of it. It was quite magnificent to watch. Any how, I thought I'd share a few photos.
