I captured a series of frames as this Great Blue Heron flew toward me one early morning at the Venice Rookery. In the 6th frame he finally emerged into a patch of morning sun. Full frame cropped to pano.

The light on this bird is gorgeous, Bill. A very fine frame, particularly with the nesting material in tow.
