A series of images of a Great Blue Heron coming in for a landing at Lake Appert in the Celery Farm Natural Area in Allendale, New Jersey. It was interesting since it was coming in directly in front of me as I was photographing the Heron! Images were taken with a 400mm DO lens with a 2X Teleconverter on a Canon 1D mkIV.

This shows the impressive wingspan of the Great Blue Heron. I also liked the feather detail.

This Great Blue Heron was way across the lake and was not far from the opposite shoreline. After hearing a loud bang, probably a firecracker, it flew right into us. I thought it was an interesting landing series of photos.I just selected a few out of the 30 or so in the series.
