I Got Lucky Today

I was on my way home from Grove Field and the weather had cleared, so I decided to make a brief stop at Lacamas Creek to look for birds. I came around a corner, and a Heron flew off and I took about 5 more steps and came face to face with another Great Blue Heron about 30 feet away. These guys usually fly off when I get within 200 feet, so I was surprised that this one stuck around and continued looking for fish while I snapped pictures. He eventually flew off after catching his dinner.
