This is probably the same GBH that I featured yesterday but, once again, it proved to be a Photographer’s Friend to me on my morning walk yesterday. This is a favorite perching place in Ferrari Pond for Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and Double-crested Cormorants as the whitewash under this GBH attests. I was talking with a friend at the edge of the pond and not paying attention when the GBH did a slow wing stretch. I missed that stretch but captured his neck stretch that I think also served as a quick check to see if he was missing anything beneath him in the water while he was preening. He flew off shortly afterward. It was actually a pretty good morning at the pond. I photographed a Beaver swimming across, watched a Cooper’s Hawk fly over, and saw a Belted Kingfisher perch on the same dead limb where the GBH had perched.
