Great photo essay. I particularly like "Snow piled up on the coat of a human passerby."

GBHs don't go south for the winter?

They are migratory in some parts of their range. The map on this Cornell page shows them as year-round residents of most of North America: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Great_Blue_Heron/id

I especially like the 3rd one, with the bridge; it's kind of neat that the first bunch look like black and white even though they're not.

Great pics, and amazing you saw so much wildlife out and about even during a storm. (Says I, the lazy one who never even left her apartment today!)

Great pictures as always. I particularly love the Great Blue Heron looking like a Dickens character - Mr Sowerbury the undertaker, perhaps, or Uriah Heep.
