Description
This great blue heron lifted off from the marshy waters of Petrie Island in Ottawa creating a mirrored silhouette against the water's surface. Captured just before sunset, the warm lighting accentuated the texture of its feathers as it navigated the lush wetland habitat. It was so beautful!!
