Description
This collage is created from a number of pictures I took at the Schuylkill River near Boat House Row in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Thanks to my brother-in-law who walked me over to where he's been seeing this majestic bird:>)
They are the largest of our American herons, and lightening fast when they strike out to catch themselves a meal. Watching these birds wade and hunt is a thrill. They are common and not endangered, and you may read more about them at:

This heron was fishing along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The dirty water didn't seem to bother him (her?). Thank you for the great comment!
