Great blue on ice (w/Youtube video)
I shot this on Sunday, when dozens of skaters were on Lake Appert at the Celery Farm.
The great blue heron was in a small part of the lake that is roped off but not far from the point, where he can be seen in the early morning some days.
The great blue seemed oblivious to all the noise around him, and didn’t seem too concerned about people.
Fortunately, no one seemed to bother him.
You can hear hockey players slapping a puck around in the background.
I just love the way he walks on the ice.
I should be as graceful on my skates.

I wondered too about if we would soon hear of a hockey team called the Great Blues. Never saw a GBH on ice, thanks for sharing.

Just nifty! I wonder if a team will recruit him for goalie.
