Great Blue Heron In A Sycamore Tree

First thing I saw when I parked at the spillway on a cold overcast morning. Junior was up there looking all around. With great blue herons, the juveniles have all dark on top of their heads while the adults have a white stripe down the middle of the top of their head.
