When I got home from yoga this morning I caught a glimpse of the great blue heron that likes to roost in the pond near our house. I decided to seize the opportunity to get some great photos and hurried over (after frantically changing my lens to zoom in) and got these photos. The heron seemed very peaceful, just standing and looking around, while two ducks floated in the pond below him. But a red-winged blackbird apparently took offense to this great intruder and proceeded to flap around the heron's head to shoo him off. It didn't work so the blackbird tried another tactic - pecking the heron on his butt! That worked and he took off over the housetops. Pretty cool!
