I spotted this great blue heron several mornings on my way to work. I got up early on a Saturday morning to try and get a good picture of it. This great blue heron was slightly obscured in the reeds alongside the pond.

Taken at a pond in Lakewood/Denver, on August 27th, 2011.

I previously posted pictures of this heron here and of a black-crowned night heron here, both at the same pond.
