Birds are part of everyone's lives. The beautiful plumages of feathers, ranging from those of the muted pastel greys and yellows of the Warbling Vireo to the iridescent Sparkling Violet-ear hummingbird. They are attractive and detailed, perfect subjects for photography.

To showcase birds in all their feathered glory, I bring you The Daily Feather. It will feature one photo per day. It may be of a plain bird or a vivid bird, but each is beautiful in its own way. I hope you will enjoy my photographs!

#11: Great Blue Heron


Great Blue Heron

(Sorry For low quality; the computer didn't let me save the photo in .png)


Fun fact: In Florida, the white and dark morphs of the GBH overlap in breeding ranges, causing the uncommon "Wurdemann's herons" , which have a white head but a dark body!
