One of our Los Angeles locals… The Great Blue Heron. Reed Andariese is a fantastic nature photographer, with an emphasis on birds.
This Great Blue Heron was way across the lake and was not far from the opposite shoreline. After hearing a loud bang, probably a firecracker, it flew right into us. I thought it was an interesting landing series of photos.I just selected a few out of the 30 or so in the series.
