SPREAD, EXTEND, FLY--- I've seen it thousands of times but the process is no less fascinating. Birds like this Great Blue Heron near Bandon, Oregon simply and effortlessly spread their wings, extend them gracefully yet powerfully, and take to the skies. It's easy to see how a desire to be able to fly like these birds is so common. #your_best_birds #allmightybirds #birdfreaks #anythingfeathered #feather_perfection #igbirdfreaks #ig_birdwatchers #udog_feathers #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #bestbirdshots #passion_4_wildlife #ig_discover_birdslife #eye_spy_birds #bird_brilliance #planetbirds #igbirds #birdsofinstagram #audubonsociety #majestic_wildlife_ #naturesbestphotomagazine #pocket_birds #youroregon #backyardbend #naturaloregon #outinoregon #oregoncoast #bestoforegoncoast #coastexplorer #oregoncoastcollective

STATELY STANCE---- Slow, small movements are common for herons as they silently stalk their prey. Sometimes those behaviors favor the photographer as this black crowned night heron in Klamath Falls, Oregon remained motionless for a very long time with a pretty pose for my camera. #your_best_birds #allmightybirds #anythingfeathered #feather_perfection #ig_birdwatchers #birdextreme #udog_feathers #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #bestbirdshots #ig_discover_birdslife #eye_spy_birds #bird_brilliance #planetbirds #igbirds #birdsofinstagram #audubonsociety #majestic_wildlife_ #naturesbestphotomagazine #pocket_birds #instabirds #instabird #birdlovers #pocket_birds #birdextreme #wildlife_perfection #igbirds #birdlove #1859oregon #backyardbend
