Flying Heron

This beautiful bird is one of my favorites. We often have blue heron's in our back yard here on Fowl River Alabama, but we don't get to see them fly up close like this. This piece was drawn from a photo by Dave Hargus. You can see some of his beautiful images at www.flickr.com/photos/1elementin7groups/40266663993. His photography is amazing and I'm so grateful he has allowed me to use some of his images as reference photos.
