Late August is usually when we see a great blue or two along the Iowa River. Just too busy w/ the garden to get down to the river this month. Might ride down there this afternoon. Wish me luck! Here's photo of a handsome one from last yr👇 #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #Photography #AltText

Photograph of an immature great blue heron standing in shallow, brown-green, flowing water with a few partially exposed rocks in the background. The heron is facing left in profile leaving the right side of its body visible. The heron's back and the back of its neck as well as the river are highlighted by morning sun while the right side of the heron is in shadow. Immature great blue herons have blue-grey plumage with a white under-tail, white mottling on the belly and chest and a dark blue-grey cap. They have long legs and large serpentine necks, long, pointed beaks with a yellow under-beak and a dark blue-grey upper beak, and bright eyes with yellow irises and black pupils.
