Here's that same green #heron that I posted earlier, but here it's untucked and putting the brakes on for a landing. You can see more of the body shape and range of colors in this pose. Reston, Virginia, USA 17-July-2025. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

A green heron in flight from right to left is beginning to descend toward a landing on a pond.  The wings are spread, the head and crown are up, and the legs are hanging down toward the water.  The background is dark green out-of-focus foliage on the bank.
