Grey Heron Fishing on the Ottawa

There's definitely lots of nature to observe this fall season. Foliage is spectacular at Mud Lake.

It's important to have your camera at-the-ready to capture wildlife in action.
To-day a lovely grey heron (below) came into focus as I walked along the Ottawa River.

According to Wikipedia:
"The Grey Heron is a large bird, standing 90-100 cm tall, with a 175-195 cm wingspan and a weight of 1-2 kg. Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. Adults have a white head with a broad black supercilium and slender crest, while immatures have a dull grey head. It has a powerful, pinkish-yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks".
