Great Blue Heron - 10 Jul 2017

I gave the second half of my "Shorebird ID - Spring to Fall" to the Huron Valley Audubon Society this evening at Kensington Metropark's Nature Center. I arrived about an hour early so I took the opportunity to look for something to digiscope. The Heron Rookery was active, so I wandered along the boardwalk digiscoping the Great Blue Herons that were nearby.

A Great Egret was also close enough to digiscope in the early evening sunset.

Behind the Nature Center I spotted a juvenile Solitary Sandpiper foraging among the lily pads.
