When I saw the images of this great blue heron (Ardea herodias) walking on a sandbar at Gulfport, Mississippi, that song by the Bangles from the 1980s - "Oh-way-oh Oh-way-oh."

"In Ancient Egypt the figure of the grey heron (Bennu or bnw) with a long beak and a double feathered crest was surrounded by mythical associations. When the flooded Nile waters slowly retreated, the heron was among the first birds to appear on the top of the mounds protruding from the water." - egypt-museum.com

My photo gallery contains more that 1000 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:
