Keeping Watch

For such large birds, Great Blue Herons can be somewhat difficult to find around here, to the point that it's easy to forget that the Puget Sound region is part of their year round range. But this particular bird had located a nice vantage point for itself, which, in turn, gave me a nice shot at it. The bird seems small in photograph, and so I considered cropping it down to make it seem larger, but I kind of like how unobtrusive the bird comes across as being at this angle.
