Walking along the trail around Mud Lake in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, I almost didn't notice this Great Blue Heron standing merely a few meters from the shore. Contrary to my encounters with herons in the past, this one was in no hurry to leave once it noticed me, and even seemed completely indifferent to my constant shuffling and moving around as I tried to find the right angle. Instead, it continued grooming itself, pausing occasionally, almost as if to pose for the camera.
