I saw this Great Blue Heron as I was driving down the Bear River Bird Refuge road on my way home. They don't generally let you get too close before they fly. I grabbed my camera that I had ready, jumped out of my car and began shooting. As expected he flew away but not before I got this shot of him taking on air. Camera settings were, continuous focus and shutter, 1/1000 sec., f/8, and 500mm focal length, ISO 400.. Equipment included Nikon D750, Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens.
