Marty’s photo of the day #2618: It’s “Animals A thru Z Month.” Each day in August, I will post an animal I’ve photographed—somewhere in the world—in alphabetical order.

G is for Great Blue Heron. I have great blue herons shots from many locations. But since I took most of the photos I’m posting this month in far-flung locations, today I’m featuring one from Montana. Great blue herons are the largest herons in North America, with wingspans exceeding six feet.
