This graceful fellow had his eye on the water at Papago Park.

  1. Great photo. I have a blue heron that frequents an area behind my home that I have been waiting to capture in photo.

  2. I saw a blue heron on Saturday in Indian Bend Wash in Scottsdale, but did not stop to photograph it because it was raining. Blue herons is not what I would expect to see in the desert., but they do thrive in the little lakes and ponds in Phoenix.
