I saw something up in the branches of a pine tree and spied this Great Blue Heron moving around.

I love Herons - actually just got a tattoo of one on Tuesday
Anyway - the photo looks a bit pixelated. Not sure if that's just my computer or what. This is a great find, not the norm with heron photos. The extra branches at the top of the photo bother me slightly as well, I might have tried cropping those out.

Thanks, I thought about the branches on top, too. Just decided to leave them in. It was kinda surrounded by branches. Probably either should have left more of them or copped them all out.
