Blue Herons are common up and down the Potomac River. They are large and easy to spot, but it is difficult to get close. On a trip to Chicamuxen Creek last week, I took along a telephoto lens in the hopes of getting a good shot of this beautiful bird. Shooting with a long lens from a rocking boat is not as easy as I thought. The photo above is about the best shot of the day.
Herons wade in shallow water on their long legs and spear small fish with their sharp beak. The Chicamuxen wetland is typical of the environment preferred by the herons.
